I personally hate the mixing of film and digital, but (oddly) am OK with including Instant Print cameras in with the film. (on that aside, I'm not sure that ANY Kodak instant print cameras would make that list).
You really have a problem even mixing film formats. Does a Linhof Technika even belong in the same list as Olympus Pen EE 35mm half-frame? Then there are the specialty cameras. The Fuji GX617 is a great camera, but I don't think I'd want to shoot a wedding with it. The same could be said for the non-interchangeable lens cameras like the Plaubel Makina 6x7 rangefinders. Landscape photographers would prefer the Nikkor 55mm version, but more general purpose photographers would be fine with the 80mm Nikkor. Both are great cameras. The Hasselblad 500 C/M was a great camera. But odds are your grandmother never shot with one. How far back do we want go go on our list? The Kodak Bantam Special (1936-48) was a great camera, in my book, if on style alone. It's a pointless exercise, but it's probably also more far more stimulating to the little grey cells than anything on television this week/month/year.
