full auto, 72 shots per roll, incredibly well built, easily available for $100-150. tons of variants with different combos of features. the only downside to me is they are mostly scale focus which I hate but you might not! if you wanna spend about twice that, the PEN FT is less automatic but it's a full SLR so you can focus for real.
i have a PEN EES-2 that the camera shop broke when i took it in for a repair, i only got to shoot one roll with it but it was absolutely the most fun roll of film ive ever shot

honestly, at this point most cameras are pretty much All Excellent. unless you're a professional photographer and really care about specs, most cameras under $500 are gonna get you some great photos.
the olympus e-m10 mark ii is a few years old at this point, but a steal of a deal at ~$350. it takes great photos on the regular auto setting if yr not into messing with settings, but is a really capable compact mirrorless camera. has all the bells and whistles for when you do want to fuck around with the settings. also has a nice feature where it emits a wifi signal for you to transfer photos to your phone.
lens recs:
i managed to snag a OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F1.8 lens for a couple hundred bucks on ebay a while ago, and it makes all of your photos look incredible, especially portraits.
for something cheap and fun, check out the pocket dispo lens.

Itβll run you ~$100 but I love this point and shoot, and it doesnβt require batteries! But film is expensive. Iβd recommend sticking to Kentmere B&W.
Digital is 100% cheaper but I donβt have good inexpensive suggestions. I go all in on the highend π

Small rangefinder thatβs super well built and can be used manually if batteries are unavailable. Love mine a lot!
