Camkory FHD ($39) (BEST BUDGET OPTION)
- If you’re on an absolute budget, this isn’t a horrible option—but it also isn’t great. It feels cheaply made, and unless you’re consistently in well-lit environments, it’s difficult for pictures to turn out the way you expect.

KODAK PIXPRO FZ45 ($99) (BEST MID RANGE OPTION

Cannon PowerShot G7X Mark III
- If you want the look you’ve probably seen all over TikTok, this camera will deliver. Its price has gone up a lot over the years due to popularity, but it’s still great for achieving that specific vibe/aesthetic.
