Cast your opinion on best looking camera?

Perception of what looks good and doesn't look good with photos is one thing.  How about cameras? I don't even own a FujiFilm, but I find the X-E2 such a good looking camera.


Just a fun thread, join the fun and post what you believe to be the best looking camera.

There is Leica and then there is . . . well . . . Leica B)

Back in the good old 35mm daze Canon also had some nice lookers.  TLR Rollei (120 roll film) is sort of an acquired taste, but unforgettable.

Neve used a twin lens Rolli but love my Yashica 635! My Pentax 645 NII isn't bad looking either!

For me, I don't mean to be bias with Canon, but I think the 5D Mark III is hot stuff

I was about to say. That is a remarkably unattractive camera.

Nikon FE-2 was a young man's heart stopper to me. My first upgrade (from Nikkormat ftn), and I still have it today.......:)
I'll prove it with a picture.....

Why so serious?

Glad to see it passed. ;)

Sometimes I really wish some camera maker would come up with a simple camera (like a Leica) with basic controls (like a Leica), rangefinder focus (like a Leica), light very sharp lenses (like a Leica) and is actually affordable to the average person (... darn it).

I completely agree with Effron on the Nikon FE-2.  I believe this is what influenced Nikons recent retro full frame that came out last year.

I actually really like the DF.  I think it looks very nice.  It's just a bit of a half camera... if you know what I mean.

If they were going to go retro, why didn't they make it super simple?  OR give it video at least ;)
