Ricoh

"Built-in flash"
"Maybe a used Ricoh GR III?"

Fujifilm
4.6
(8)
"It has a pretty cool design and it support RAW files."
"Memorable"
"The optical viewfinder on the X100 series letting you play old-timey rangefinder is seriously awesome."
"Little brother"
"My son is 7 now, but last year I got him a Fujifilm Finepix XP120, one of those waterproof/shockproof digital cameras."
"Better fit for your preferences. It's a fair bit larger and heavier than the Ricoh, but it's still compact, and you get the viewfinder, the faster lens, the analog controls, and the film sims."
"If you wanted something even smaller and were willing to ditch the viewfinder and flash hotshoe and have a 28e f/2.8 lens instead of 35e f/2, there's the XF10"
"Cheaper route"
