Usually overpriced, the Ricoh GR camera series has been in the mainstream for quite some time. This one’s an older model, but will 100% get the job done for a pocket sized nostalgia photo machine

This camera is super cool! It's basically a disposable film camera that doesn't run out of film, doesn't need batteries, and doesn't need to be sent out for processing! Just plug in a usb cable and see all your photos at once!
