Vote for the 'coolest' currently available camera! (yes ... frivilous I know!)

Voted for the Nikons - that D3 is something special! If there was a D700 on that list, I would've voted for that.

I don't know if this counts since I think they are not in production any more but I love my Bessa R2s. Great VF and easy to hold. Uses my Nikon S3 lenses.

another one: Rolleiflex 2.8 GX.
TLR Rolleis are responsible for some of the greatest pics ever taken.

Have we reached a consensus yet?

I am making cool - Contax III styled Classic created around a Kiev III with working meter - in Mercedes Champagne and burgundy leather .
-and refurbed collapsible Sonnar ...

I like the pix I've seen on flickr made by the D700 and the Ricoh GR-D. But cool cameras? They're tools. There are a few cool photographers.

The Minolte Autocord. It's what Rolleiflexes could have been if the designers had kept things simple: top spool film feed and a focusing lever instead of a knob.

None of those cameras are cool. Fred Flintstone camera, THAT's cool. Girl Scout Brownie, THAT's cool.

My old beat up Deardorff V8!!!

Fred Flintstone camera, THAT's cool.

Mine stopped working when the little birdie flew back to France.
You can't get the Polarock stone tablets anymore, either...

My Nikon FM3A is cool. Hope I don't sell it.

The 'most amazing' camera is the 5DMkII. Great still images. Great video. Uses great Canon primes, and via adapters, can use just about anything else by other manufacturers. What more could you need?

But, the "coolest" camera may be something else. Maybe the Nikon F6 if we're talking only about "currently available," as in "available new."

What's cool for me is the camera I know and have... the Epson RD-1.
