There have been some very ugly cameras produced over the years. Post your favorite "only a mother could love", "what was the designer th/(dr)inking" camera here. Another poster recently posted a thread about picking one of these up. Never heard of it... thought I'd take a look. Whoah, Nellie! That is ONE fugly camera. So I vote for the Argus Autronic I (Never owned one, mind you...) This is for fun... Don't go getting upset! I'm sure the camera's feeling won't be hurt 
That camera has a striking resemblance to the Kiev 5.
But they are both beauty queens compared with my Nikon E3, One-Point-Three MEGAPixel full-frame Digital camera from 1997.
TV Screen... All I get is a little slot to show the PCMCIA card is in it.

That's pretty hard to beat Nick, but I'll give it a try:
I get it. You guys just have something against SELENIUM!
Accurate after 50 years, and still doesn't get any respect!

No, no, no, I love Selenium:

hard to beat selenium meters for uglifying an otherwise elegant design. I like using selenium meters, but coupled meters are often just damn ugly. BTW, this selenium meter is still spot one, matches my LunaStar F across the spectrum (at least to the limit of sensitivity).

This one is pretty ugly. And probably familiar to conspiracy theorists too: http://www.copweb.be/Imperial_Camera.htm

LOL, I'm surprised nobody posted a pic of a cell phone camera!
That's about as ugly as you can get. not to mention the totally {insert sophomoric f-bomb portmanteau here} photos they take.

LOL, almost like the one floating around of the old wooden plate camera with the telephone hand crank and hang-up receiver on it.

Yecch! I about to throw up! No mass! That Nikon E3 is a beast... blech! Actually, looking back, a lot of the early digitals were unsightly.

The M5 is sexy, thank you very much
maybe the Contax IIIA then? the IIA was such a beautiful camera and then they wrecked it with that lousy meter...

Great thread! If only my cameras weren't all so pretty

The best camera is one that still works!
