My first film camera was a Praktica too which I bought from Dixons (remember them?) in 1974 when my daughter was born. I still have 3 of the screw-in lenses which I use quite regularly on my EOS digital (obviously with adapter) - its difficult to beat metal and glass!
My favourite Canon film camera was my EOS 600 which I had for years.
I have a few vintage medium format film cameras too, and my favourite of these is my ICA Icarette which I have managed to adapt to use 120 film. The pics from this are stunningly sharp which is not bad for a camera that I believe was made between 1905 and 1910. There is a label on this camera which says "J. B.WATSON, OPTICIAN, EDINBURGH".
Keep pushing that shutter button!

What is this "film" you speak of ?
I've just looked over my shoulder to see on a cabinet shelf the following with no order of preference:-
A GOKO MacromaX that I think I bought at Jessops,interestingly it seems to have a film still in it!
A Minolta XD5, with four lenses
A Canon EOS300 kit.
