Your Top 5 Favorite Cameras Ever!

In terms of simply delivering results that I love without regard to emotional appeal of the hardware itself:

Sony A7
Ricoh GR
Sony RX100
[Some sort of lo-fi camera - Digital Harinezumi? Lomo 120?]
Fujifilm GA645zi

But if we do count emotional appeal, then perhaps I'd squeeze a Leica M4-2 and Canadian 50 Summicron in the middle of that list - that was my first M-camera outfit.
 
My top five Cameras in no particuler order:

Leica M6 - Summicron 50/35/90 mm.
Hasselblad - 203Fe 50mm/ 150mm / 60-120mm Blad.
Hasselblad - Xpan-2 45mm.
Leica M8.2
Nikon F5 - 50mm/ 90mm
 
1a) Leica M6 TTL .58x
1b) Voigtlander R2A
2) Fuji x100
3) Hasselblad 500C
4) Olympus OM2N

Pretty tempted to put the Bessa R2A on top.. I just bought the M6 .58x. I enjoy shooting it more, but the R2A is much more practical. It's smaller, lighter, has a better meter, better tripod placement, and is WAY easier to load.

That said, the the shutter and film advance isn't as nice, and it's not a Leica.

1) Leica M4 or M6

I've owned quite a few camera bodies over the years but not so many different types. Presumably my favourite cameras are the ones that I now currently own (on the basis that if other models were my favourites I'd buy those back in preference to what I have). Therefore, my favourite cameras are what I have:

1. Leica M-A
2. Nikon D810
 
Ok, I'll play ...

In no particular order ...

Mamiya Super Deluxe rangefinder
Canon GIII rangefinder
Pentax K1000
Pentax Spotmatic
Pentax MX

That's five.
