I'd be an old photo booth at a county fair somewhere.
 
A compact rangefinder like a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s - old, small, none too impressive to look at, but willing and able to please the proud owner :wink:

I've even got some brassing starting to appear on top :D
 
Kodak Ektra, Endoscopic Capsule camera or one of them on Hubbell
Travel the globe
Travel through the body
Travel through space
 
Disposable :D
 
A wobbly but usable 7x17 camera mounted in an ungainly vertical position.
 
Anything else than digital... I don't want to be thrown away even if I am perfectly functioning after a couple of years because the new one has some more pixels.
Well, some (very rich) men actually do this with women, but not because of more pixels ... :wink:
 
Interesting how nobody says "Pinhole".... ;-)
 
Must be an OM1...small, simple, capable, unassuming. I would not have a flashshoe, though. I'm bright enough (and I am insanely bald). Although, I could be am M3 with 35mm, goggled lenses (wide view with glasses).....nah, I'm sticking to the OM1....much more low key.
 
Hubble
 
Rapid Omega 200.

Bigger, heavier and more shoes than necessary, needs a slap upside the head to get started but takes a licking and keeps on kicking.

A Yahsica 635 TLR - odd-looking but solid, reliable, versatile and keeps on going... on and on and.... :smile:
 
Kodak Retina Reflex III



Steve.
 
Must be ,like a couple of others,the OM 1,compact and very touchable.Even without its nervous system (battery)it still churns out the goods.When I got my first OM 1 I stopped obsessing about owning a Leica.

Something like a Pentax K 1000, hard working, reliable, and not worth much even when new.
 
A Nikon F - simple, easy to use, a fair bit bigger than it actually needs to be but capable of taking the knocks without too much complaining and is utterly reliable. I'd probably be tripod mounted as my knees are wrecked...! :smile:
 
Brad Pitt's favorite film camera? :smile:

Seriously though...I'd be a garage sale camera. A little TLC and some new leather and you'll never leave me on the shelf! :wink:
