Hasselblad 500C, with Leica IIIc second.
I love my D7100 digital outfit, but film cameras are still my favorites.

For nostalgia, my first “real” camera, which was a Minolta srt 202. I got it in Germany in 1977 when stationed there. I had it for a whopping 9 months until it was stolen. Being only a lowly private, I couldn’t afford another new one and found a used srt 101 at a pawn shop. They both took amazing photos.
Today my favorite is my Nikon D750.

Been a Nikon shooter since the mid-70's. My old film favorites were the FE and FE2. I still have an FE2 with a 28, 50, and 75-150 sitting happily in retirement, but taken out and fired at least once a month. Went digital years ago with a D50. Still have it and use it, but upgraded to the D90 when it came out, and later to a D7xxx and a D3xxx. I know the D7xxx and 3xxx have more mpg's and other new (better ?) features, but I really like the D90. In fact bought a 2nd used one a few months ago. No valid reason or need---just wanted another body to play with. So--right now, the D90 is my favorite---- I like to use it. It takes all my lenses. I am used to the controls, image quality is fine, it is reliable, light weight, and suits my needs. There are no plans to buy any newer bodies at this time----

That a hard question to answer. I said two cameras, Retina IIIC (large C) and a Zeiss Contessa. I have own other German's cameras. There is a lot I like about those two cameras. Size, good lens, well made. This is no way a put down of Canon's cameras( had a few of them.) or Nikon's cameras (Have two of them: Nikkormat FT-2 & FT) and Pentax cameras( have two K-1000, had other models.)

This is like asking where was my favorite place to live...
My answer is always the same: Where I am now.
Why? Each place has its pluses and minuses.
Same goes with cameras.

Your OMD5II is also one of my very fave
faves, but I have the 14-42 Zuiko rather
than the Lumix lens. But my go-to lens
is 14-150 Zuiko.
Did you update it to do in-camera focus
stacking ? I did that and it's amazing ...
but of limited application. It wasn't any
extra expense for me cuz, fortunately, I
already owned two of the [few] lenses
that can do focus stacking :-)
Have you run the pixel refresh function ?
I hope thaz the correct name for it, cuz I
also have [too] many cameras and every
brand uses a different name for functions.
FWIW my other big fave is a Lumix G9.
I'm using all three popular formats but
found that m4/3 cameras are definitely
my very mostest fave faves !

one single fave is not possible :-)

The camera is invisible to the viewers of my work.
The camera function is separated in time from the
viewing function. OTOH, the listeners of my other
work are present in real time, and while they love
what they hear from my Warwick Thumb BN5, I
happen to hate playing it. Sounds great, but very
anti-ergonomic. Flipping back to cameras, I hate
using my Nikon 750 but it's prolly my best camera
in terms of maximum image quality. Go figger :-)

My all time favorite camera was my Pentax Spotmatic. I took a lot of photos with it until I sold it to another guy in Vietnam who wanted it so bad I couldn’t refuse his offer. My favorite now is my newly acquired Sony RX100 VII. I like it for its compactness, convenience and performance.

I should actually clarify my original post here. In all reality, every one of my cameras is my favorite. Each was acquired through special circumstances. Each has shared its adventures with me. I couldn't really slight any one of them due to those background facts.

The OP didn't confirm whether he allows buying new camera when the camera broke. OP please confirm it one way or another.
