Pentax 1980-2000 SLRs, then a compact, then compact digital (Kodak ls443, Lumix lc40, Casio p505).
In 2008 I returned to big imaging with Sony's A200. That was the doldrums before SLT, and I couldn't afford the A700 (just missed the BestBuy closeouts), and went back to Pentax in 2010. Added μ43 off and on with decent results.

I have a K-s2 now, a gx85 with small μ43 lenses and now an A7.ii that can adapt my collection of small K-mount primes (28,50,85,135). Just picked up a Maxxum 100-300apo and I'm awaiting an la.ea3 adapter for nearly auto functionally except AF.
 
For me I started with a Nikon d3000 in 2010 and moved up to the D7000 then the D7200, from there I had a D500 and a D800… I then went mirrorless to a Z5 and a Z6ii using the Nikon 200-500 with the adapter which made it a little cumbersome but Nikon promised a 200-600 for the Z mount which never arrived and still hasn’t, so I decided to start looking into another system. I had read a lot about the Sony 200-600 and how good it was and it wouldn’t break the bank so I sold all my Nikon gear and went all in with Sony and the A7r4 and the A9ii and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. My Sony gear is truly amazing…
 
Professionally, I started with a Nikon N65QD, which I still own, although I don't have any lenses for it anymore, and a Sony VX2100, which I later on replaced with a Canon HV20 + Letus 35mm adapter and Nikon mount... so basically, FullHD 24p with de DoF of a 35mm camera, not without its issues of course, mostly in terms of darkness and lack of definition. I then replaced my HV20 and adapter with a Nikon D90, which was the first DSLR to shoot videos (yes, it's earlier than the 5D MkII, alas only 720p) and took on the role of both video and stills camera (although as mentioned, I still keep my N65 for whenever I feel like shooting film). That D90 got stolen and then replaced with another D90. That second D90 was then replaced with a D7500, which was the last one before getting my A6400, which was destroyed after a 30-meter drop while rappelling. I thought of saving for an FX30, which would have taken me forever, but for my birthday, I got the most amazing surprise and I now own my second A6400.
 
Just an amateur photographer.
Started with my father’s SRT-101, then a Maxxum 5, Maxxum 7d, Sony A700, A850, A99, A7ii and A7iv.

The great thing with sticking to a lineage is lens compatibility. Although ir was not really true while in the A-mount era. Good thing I did not sell the old lenses acquired through those years :)
 
Pentax K1000 back in 1979. Then Nikon and Mamiya medium format film cameras.Then transitioned to Nikon DSLR's because I already owned a bunch of lenses. I then "branched out" to Canon and micro four thirds with Panasonic and Olympus. I recently ventured into Sony with an A7c.

So, I'm now down to 3 systems I use regularly; Canon (R6 and 7dmk2), Panasonic (GX85) and Sony (A7c).

Today I sold my Nikon D750 with several lenses, so I won't be shooting Nikons anymore.
 
My first "camera" was a Kodak Brownie, my first 35mm camera was a Minolta HiMatic 7, then my first "real" camera was a Nikon F. As a professional i have used a lot of cameras, shot with Nikon F, F2, F3, then Canon for awhile, also both Canon and Nikon digital, there was also medium format cameras and view cameras as well, Bronica film, Contax film and digital digital, Hasselblad film and digital, Mamiya RZ67, 6 and 7 film, Fuji 680 film, Leaf,Rollei digital, Kodak DCS digital, Toyo 8X10 and 4X5, Sinar P 4x5, various minox, Ricoh GRs all different ones, Olympus Micro 4/3, Fuji APC and now Sony FE stuff. Lets just say a lot in the last 60 or more years. I forgot about all the Polaroids
