Good Digital Camera?

I wanna get a camera on Amazon—just one of those old timey (old timey?) digital cameras (not the Polaroids) from like the early 2000s for my younger sister as a gift for Christmas. Seeing as I want to keep it as a surprise, I can’t ask her what she’d prefer (if she even has a preference). I don’t have any friends her age and don’t use social media so I thought I’d just ask the question here: what’s a nice (in terms of quality and all that) camera that has lots of space (?) and takes beautiful photos and is affordable? My budget would be max, $500 which in the US would be about $73 and because I live in the Caribbean and it’s a lot to clear stuff bought internationally, plus a hassle to return something if I don’t like it, I wanna get it right the first time.


Please help me y’all; I thought it was easy to just choose a camera but what if the camera doesn’t take the pictures in the retro kind of older golden way or what if I need to buy a new part or something regularly? This is why I wouldn’t buy the Polaroid camera cause I’m guessing you’d have to buy more in that photo thingey? Anyways guys I’m in my early twenties… im not very old. I’m just crap at this and I wanna make my sister happy without having to hurt my pocket.
