Don't get me wrong, I love my current camera (Canon), but all too often I miss the simplicity of my old Pentax. no Modes, no Processor, no LCD. what it did have that I miss most of all was a very functional interface. I liked the needle indicators in the sight window. I liked that I could change anything with out ever taking my eyes off the subject.

I'm not looking to swap out for a new camera, but I'm not some zealot who only buys products from one company either. Those who do make excuses saying they are "loyal" or some other B.S.

I'd like to hear from others what their current or past favorite cameras were/are and why.
what made them work for you?

I had a Pentax from 1970 something that had that needle light meter. It was very simple to use and its pictures were light and sharp.

I now own 2 digital Canon. Diferent aproaches I know. It costed a small fortune to develope 24 or 36 photos and before pressing down the button I used to think Now my 4GB memory card can store more than 1000 photos. If the pic sucks I can just delete it and move forward; take 5 or 6 experimental photos of the same subject and choose the best one to edit.

Have you ever tryed HDR photo editing? [link]
