Old compact point-and-shoot cameras are having a moment, and have proven to be especially popular with young people who grew up after their heyday. Models that have spent years sitting on thrift shop shelves are suddenly being snapped up and sold for eye-watering prices on eBay – in some cases, for more than their original MSRPs.
Since we’ve spent the last 25 years covering these cameras as they came out, we decided to put together a mini-buying guide for Instagram, covering the things you should look out for when shopping for point-and-shoots in general. We also picked out a few specific cameras that we think stand out among the rest and will provide not just the point-and-shoot look but a genuinely nice photographic experience.
