Everyone knows Gen Z is obsessed with physical media—from photos to vinyl and DVDs. But they’re not capturing memories on their phones. Instead, it’s all about Y2K-style digital cameras for candids on a night out and ’90s-inspired film cameras to document their travels.
While you could stumble across a true vintage camera in a thrift store, why leave it up to chance if you’re thinking about getting one for yourself or to give as a holiday gift? Amazon has a wide array of options—from affordable cameras for beginners to under-$500 options for professionals.
We’ve gathered our favorite digital, film, instant, vlogging, and disposable cameras on Amazon that reviewers swear by! These cameras deliver on gorgeous color and all the low-fi (or high-res, if that’s your thing) vibes. Shop our picks below and win Christmas by gifting a trendy camera or by snapping pics on your own.
