I'm with n3eg, but the lens would have to weigh less than a pound, and the camera under 18 oz. with battery included...

A take off on the question "Your Favorite Camera" You can only have one camera, you can all the lenses you want to go with that camera. Money is no problem. Remember this camera is the only one you can have for the rest of your life. Something happens to the camera, no replacement.
More than likely,...My Pentax Full-Frame “K-1”, cuz I have so many k-mount lenses, and this camera is a true TREASURE!!!

That’s about as important as asking “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.”
None of us knows what new technology may be right around the corner - and it may force us to consider a new camera. If we need not consider money and time to learn a new camera, why not always replace when something better appears?

So the camera you used in 1970 you should still be using? It is harder to get film these days and harder to find a good lab to do the developing.
Camera technology improves every year. Even the DSLR you bought back in 2003 is a bit dated by now and could use an upgrade.

Yes, I am using pre 1970 camera now. It a Retina IIIC, use it yesterday to take a picture of a tree in my back yard. You hit the nail on the head about the problem DSLR cameras and technology. No upgrade, what you have is it.

What is the problem?
The OP amply asked the question which camera would one chose to use exclusively for the rest of one’s life.
Contribute if you want, but don’t make it more complicated with profound and unwarranted analysis.

Leica SL or a Hasselblad H series. Depending on how long I think I will shoot marathons. I might lean to the Leica for general durability.

You wrote "new Technology may be right around the corner." that problem with DSLR cameras. And because of that I should not have ask question "One Camera Only" when dealing with DSLR cameras, because there is no answer, one is dealing with the unknown.

The anal among us have made the OP’s question too hard (for them). Privately, I have a problem with commitment, so I have no answer. 😏

No
If you don't allow to replace the camera when it's broken beyond repair I would go for something like this

Since I can buy a lot of lenses and the only problem I can forsee is the shutter which is mounted on the lenses.
