I already use 7D cameras for most of my shooting, with EF 100mm 2.8L Macro and EF-S 10-22mm lenses. I reckon my 35mm 1.4L could be the third lens. I could live within these limitations for three years, though I would miss having a telephoto for occasional birds.

Is this a trick question?

I bought a D5100 with the latest Sigma 18-200, a Nikon 10.5 and a Nikon 40mm Macro
It all fits in a tiny Domke bag and I can carry it around all day

Nikon D4
14-24/2.8
24-70/2.8
70-200/2.8 VR II
Own the three lenses, have a D3S, don't need a D4.

You did say 'want' and didn't include 'can afford'.

For the lenses I would take the following:
24-70 f/2.8 II (slight chance I would take the 24-105 instead for the range)
70-200 f/2.8 IS II
600 f/4 IS II
Since the restrictions are for the camera and lenses, I would also take the Canon 1.4x TCIII, 2x TCIII, a Kenko DGX 1.4x if I need it to stack teleconverters (I forget if the Canon III can stack in some order or not), and a full set of Kenko extension tubes. These will extend the range of the lenses and allow for closeup shots, though not quite macro. I'll have to do more stitching when possible for wider shots.

Sony NEX 7 successor
Sony 24/1.8 Zeiss, Sony 16-70/4 Zeiss, Sony 85/1.8 Zeiss
I could go a lot longer than 3yrs with this setup!!

Rolleiflex TLR only has one lens, I could easily shoot only this camera for the rest of my life...

Been there, done that....Nikon D300, Nikon 16-85VR lens. Nothing else needed.
An inexpensive Canon Digital Rebel body, and these lenses:
Canon 15-85mm
Canon 50 1.8
Canon 70-200 f4 IS
That would do me. But if I had to further decide on a 1 one-piece unit, I'd opt for Canon SX50HS. That would cover about 90% of my needs without a problem.
