For me, it has to be my old Canon canonet GIII I got as a teen.
It was my first 'real' camera about 40 years ago. I still vividly recall the thrill of getting the first batch of photos back from processing and seeing the amazing colors it rendered. Pretty fast 1.7 lens too! It was incredibly difficult to focus, and as a rangefinder it had a bit of a disconnect between the viewfinder and the actual image captured. Still, I could not have been more thrilled to shoot a camera!
I've had many technically superior cameras since then, but I will never love another camera more.
