Looking for a camera

Hello just was looking for a camera that would be great for taking photos without modifications to the camera that can take photos that look nostalgic. The only things I’m looking for is one that doesn’t use film, preferably has a screen, and I can find online. That is really the only criteria nothing too much too it. Just want to take photos of cars.

What kind of "nostalgic" are you looking for? 0.3MPix VGA flip phone camera nostalgic, 35mm film nostalgic, Polaroid nostalgic, camera obscura nostalgic, daguerreotype nostalgic?

Take clean photos first, then put filters on in postprocessing after the fact.

Get a modern smartphone and get your fingerprints all over the lens, and then edit every photo to have a very strong vignette.

Buy a old digi cam, or bite the bullet and shoot film. Those would be your options, I'd go digi cam if you don't want to shoot film but there are PLENTY of filters on insta if that's what you are using this camera for.

buy a 2000s digicam. I have a few myself, the canon powershot s70 is good enough for that use. 

Intel Core i7 11700F + EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GAMING RTX 3070 OC + 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM + ASROCK Z590 Steel Legend WIFI 6E + Razer Hanbo 360mm AIO + Corsair RM850X + Deepcool CH510 Case + Acer Nitro XV271 280hz Gaming Monitor

Film doesn't instantly mean "vintage" look. You still need to get old lenses to get the look. Shoot film with a canon using a modern L lens and you will get pretty outstanding clean pictures.
