Cameras got so serious by the 2000s. DSLRs were everywhere, and even though you didn’t need one for every circumstance, the party line was that you needed one for every circumstance. Now point-and-shoot cameras dominate, and with it comes a dose of casual fun. Take the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro, for example. It’s an instant-print film camera that fits into a pocket and, at least right now, costs little more than 100 bucks.

I call ’em party cameras, because these casual, inexpensive memory capturers brush aside hardcore specifications for fun and whimsy, but you might know them as point-and-shoots. Check out our guide to the best point-and-shoot cameras, which does also include more serious point-and-shoots, such as the Fujifilm X100 VI, alongside casual cameras like the freshly released Camp Snap 2.
