It took 126 (square negs) film and the flash was a disposable cube (that contained 4 single use bulbs) and rotated to a new bulb when the film was wound on. I took great photos with it when my family visited Hawaii and Los Angeles (from Fiji where I was born and where we once lived) at the end of 1975. I think that Dad's first camera was a Contax 35mm which I commandeered at the tender age of 8 to shoot a series of images recording the milk truck's journey down our street. All 15 slides were in perfect focus and spot-on exposure! Imagine my father's puzzlement when that film came back from the lab... After that, it was Canons all the way, baby! Starting with the AE-1, then AE-1 Program, A1, and F1 with swivel viewfinder and 100 shot back. Digital Ixus 400S and G5 with wide angle adapter followed, and now the first DSLR camera that has made me want to get one - the 5D MkII. I'm happy! (Although I may have to spread my allegiance to getting one of those beautiful and retro-looking Olympus E-P1s for when I don't want to carry the 5D2 around) My first camera was an Agfa Instamatic.
