Olympus Trip 100R

The Olympus Trip 100R is the simplest camera we sell, and that is the entire point. One fixed 27mm wide lens at f/8, one shutter speed, no focusing, no settings — you load a roll, slide the lens cover open, and press the button. Everything is sharp from a metre or so to infinity because the small aperture does the work, which is exactly how disposable-camera photos get their look, except this one is made of real parts and will last for decades. This example is near mint and still has its original box and paperwork.

Load it with ISO 400, shoot in daylight, use the flash indoors, and it does the rest. At f/8 and a fixed 1/125 the camera needs decent light or the flash, so it is a daytime and party camera rather than an available-light one. Batteries are not included. Near mint with the original box — an unusually complete example of a camera most people threw away.
