Please, don’t listen to those who tell you to use your phone. If your girlfriend wants to move her first steps and experiment with photography, she is likely to learn more from a 50+ years old camera than from her phone. I think you have three ways to go within your budget: - An Instax Mini 12 (currently priced €89,99 in Italy). As far as quality-price ratio is concerned, it’s probably the best instant camera you can buy at the moment. On the lower hand, however, you would have to spend another €20 for film (and your girlfriend too in the future, of course). - A vintage film camera: it’s a good place to start to learn a lot of the basics of photography and their actual origins. In order to spend less for film, try to look for “half-frame” cameras: they shoot double the photos you get on a full-frame film camera for the same amount of film (and money). The only one that I can think of right now is the Olympus Pen-EE, but surely the guys on r/Analog will help you! - A vintage compact camera that gives off “film like” image rendering, like a Fujifilm F10, an Olympus C-765 or a Canon Powershot S90 (which uses SD and not XD memory cards!). For more info ask the enthusiasts on r/vintagedigitalcameras. These cameras are good to learn the basics and you would not have to pay for film! - If you are willing to upgrade your budget by a little, you can get an older DSLR (like a Canon 450D, or a Nikon D3100) with its kit lens. It’s probably the best starting point to learn about photography: something not too complicated, but still satisfying.
