Which camera made you fall in love with photography?

My father's Voigtländer Vito IIa 3. Ed. with Color-Skopar 3.5-50mm.

Minolta X-700, late 90s. I'd gone to Germany to coach a professional basketball team, so I figured I'd buy a nice camera and take some snapshots while I was there. Got the camera with a 50mm/f1.4 lens, and later a 28/2.8 and a 135/3.5. And that was back in the days where you could buy all kinds of different E-6 film everywhere, cheaply, and have it processed and back to you within a couple of days. Shooting photos took my mind off some of the stresses of trying to figure out how to win games with young guys who probably shouldn't have been playing at the level we had advanced to, and looking at the slides (and soon, the B&W negatives) was just really encouraging. It all took off from there.
