I moved from 127 to 126 with my first two cameras as a kid:
1958 10-12 yrs old: (1960-2) Brownie Starlet
Manufactured : 1957-62 Lens : Dakon Shutter : Rotary Quantity Made :
Original List Price : $6 Film Size : 127 Negative Size : 4x4 cm
1963 13-14 years old Instamatic 100 126 Cartridge 28x28mm

And both were square format.
