If you died and were reincarnated as a camera, what would you want to be?

I'll go for a Leica M3 -- immortality guaranteed.

How 'bout you?

Thanks to all who answer.

    I would want to be a video camera for a pornography studio.

    The Leica bit is a coincidence, not sucking up..

    I actually want to be this camera so that I can just lie there and watch the clouds roll by. Maybe on main beach at Straddie

    Maybe if I'm really bad they will send me to camera hell and I will be destined to take photos of distorted lips for eternity .

    Darn, I wanted to say M3.

    Instead, I will say Leica MP doing Betty Page type Pin-Ups!

    I would want to be one that was owned by someone who took it out more often than Christmas and Birthday's. Someone who was interested in photography and creative. Someone who would take me to the ends of the Earth and back again. Of course, an M3 would survive that kind of challenge...

    A IIIg would be cult-cool though.

    I miss my dad's Exakta, though, so maybe.....

    Doesn't matter as long as I'm used and not forgotten in the closet. And I would also want a big round 800mm telephoto lens to make up for my short comings now.

    A view camera that belongs to Ansel Adams.

    Don't care what make and model, but as long as I am shooting the SI swimsuit issue each year, that's all the immortality I need. Keeping my fingers crossed that the boss is a woman with good hands.

    A camera as technically and aesthetically pleasing as any image that has ever been recorded. I would be an Ebony SV45TE

    One that won't be invented for years and years! I kind of want to stick around the life I have for a while.
