Canon

4.3

(16)

"Fantastic little camera."

"Also great with a very good focal length."

"I would suggest literally any Canon Sure Shot. They're cheap, reliable and sharp."

"SLRs of that era provide point and shoot functionality, plus the ability to transition to semi-automatic and manual exposure."

"If you have the money, canon g7x mark 2 or 3."

"He could look at something like the Canon SX70 or Nikon P950."

"A canon sure shot sleek, Minolta AF Tele, Olympus trip 35 (if you count them), Ricoh ff700."

"A Rebel 2000 or TII. They're just insanely capable."

"For that price I would get a fuji or something like a used canon g7x ii for its more versatile lens."

"If you’re able to get your hands on a canon g7x, i’d defo recommend."

Fujifilm

4.3

(12)

"Instax is considerably cheaper and easier to use than Polaroid film."

"X100V with the teleconverter is my go to."

"X100 series from Fujifilm."

"Primarily excellent photo with decent video quality? Fuji X100V/VI."

"Which has a built in printer"

"Fujifilm, the only one with decent film simulation styles in camera."

"I have used a Fuji Film XP for years with no problem."

"I find that my fuji xp140 takes great photos."

"Fujifilm cardia."

"If we ignore the video AF, price, size, zoom and availability requirements, there's the X100V for ~$2200 from a scalper"

Minolta

4.3

(10)

"An absolutely lovely little camera."

"Great fan"

"High quality optics - lens has a shocking 6 elements in 6 groups diagram. Simple and efficient operation. Manual ISO and advance means it has a degree of manual control while being much quieter than later P&S of the 1990s. One of the top picks IMO."

"The Minolta AF-C or the Olympus XA2 are pretty good alternatives."

"U/Westerdutch often recommends the Minolta AF-C unless I'm mistaken."

"Minolta AF-C. Wont get any lighter as far as autofocus point and shoots go."

"Thanks everyone! I ended up going with a Minolta 800i I found on eBay :) hopefully he loves it!"

"Minolta freedom 200. Stupid cheap like a point and shoot should be."

"I recommend something like that (or really anything remotely similar) cos the lens is f/2.8 rather than some of the currently produced p&s film cam"

"Autofocus with a manual film advance"

Pentax

(9)

"The Pentax Espio 928 is actually a really fantastic camera."

"All of the other features"

"Best imo right now, Pentax 17. It’s new, works great but pricey."

"The pentax has a lot more features and overall better specs, while remaining automatic."

"I would shoot for the Pentax, I myself always like Pentax camera's!"

"Pentax Espio."

"Great for street, 28mm lens is pretty sharp."

"Aged well"

"Nikon Lite Touch. There are a couple variations, but all of them that I have used are fantastic."

"He could look at something like the Canon SX70 or Nikon P950."

"Nikon 35Ti"

"I would recommend the Nikon Tele Touch 300 AF. It has two focal lengths 35mm and 55mm."

"Point and shoot? Nikon P1000 and P950."

"Nikon 35Ti."

"Offer a lot of versatility and things that make it worth using over your phone"
