Question:
What collectable cameras would you own if you had the money to get whatever you wanted?
I think my first choices would be a Leica IIIG and a Nikon SP.
My tastes are much better that my bank account.

Well, I would like an ELCAN IIIg and and ELCAN KE-7A outfit complete with the ELCAN 50/2 lens and all boxes and papers. All must be mint and why not if you are dreaming. I must remind the wife that Christmas is coming up and these would make good stocking stuffers. The woes of having champagne taste on a beer budget.

Never given myself permission to think so extravagantly, but on first blush I'd say, yes, the Nikon SP for sure, mint Minolta XK Motor in box, mint Pentax LX in box, perhaps the same with a Canon New F-1.

For practical application i would also prefer the Nikon SP with the 1.1/50 lens. As a collectors item i would like to have the 1839 Daguerrotype, which was sold in Vienna for 792.000.- USD and if money is no object, why not a Bugatti Veyron to carry it home in style to my castle on the hills... And now i wake up and have to go to work Bob, there are good news: A mint KE-7A Military + 2/50 Elcan is offered on ebay for 33.000.- UDS ! MIK

Without doubt the Voigtlander Metallkamera ''Cannon" of 1840.
See the cover of McKeown's Cameras 2001-2002

I STILL have a pile of Nikons. Considering starting a collection of Ricoh SLRs and RFs.

Nikon F2AS Titan Data with MD-100 10fps drive and Bulk Film Magazine. I'll need help lifting it though.

There's a Mint IIIG in a leather presentation case on Ebay for $5,000 U.S.

The Leica IIIg certainly. And I 'm not sure it would be considered "collectable" or not, but the new Mamiya digital would be nice. www.mamiya.com/default.asp?ID=318&ID2=292 Alas! Neither one fits my pocketbook.

I had an LX at one time. Back in the early days of home computers I sold the LX to finance 364 K of memory!!. Wish I hadn't done that. The LX was a sweet machine, although I always preferred Nikkor lenses to the later Pentax glass.
