Really Sexy!
95 (100)Yes, I thought that might get your attention. Pity the views statistics don't show the sex of the readers - predominantly male audience with this title, right? 
I was looking for something on eBay and came across a camera I've owned myself in the past as well, a Zorki rangefinder. Quirky Leica almost-lookalike, and you had to be careful in which order you used the controls otherwise it could become unusable, but a really nice camera for its price. And not only that, but I thought it looked very good, too. I like the flat(ish) design with the rounded sides.
Another camera I owned, the Canon EOS IX had an even more pronounced curve in its design. (What is it with curves that attracts so much? Hmmmm.) I sold it after upgrading to a 20D, but it was with some regret that I put it in a parcel to send it to the buyer, I have to admit. I just liked looking at it, even if I wasn't using it. But the money had to go towards buying an extra lens, so it had to go.
And there are so many other cameras that simply look good. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen was a huge wooden plate camera with a brass lens and brass controls. It was in a photography shop in France, and the owner proudly told me that his grandfather had started the business with that camera - he even had some prints hanging on the wall made with this beautiful object.
So - have you ever been attracted to a camera just because of its looks?
