This is an enthusiast driven site, right? So why even list this landfill queen? Canon makes some intriguing fixed lens boxes. Their SLR offerings are more mass market than enthusiast.
Let’s see some rangefinders. Some physics-defying large-sensor-in-a-pocket-box cameras. Some medium format film stuff. Some obscure cheap Chinese TLR that makes amazing images practically for free.
There are more interesting pic makers out there than you can shake a stick at, and you give us this?

CptZocReally depends on what you're looking for, what you're willing to spend, and what you're planning on shooting. An experienced photographer might find the Ricoh GR or Fuji X100F exactly what they're looking for, but an amateur might find them too limiting. An Olympus E-M10 or Panasonic GX85 might be good starting points for small, interchangeable lens cameras. But if you want good autofocus for sports, you're going to have to pony up for higher end models in those lines - or Canon, or Nikon (E-M1, Canon 80D, Nikon D7500). There are also fixed lens, large sensor compact cameras such as the Sony RX100 series or Panasonic LX100 that are great options for small, but high quality.

CptZocPhotography has been a hobby of mine for a few years. I bought this camera a while back at a garage sale for $100, and although I've had the means to upgrade the body, I've really only been spending money on lenses. I absolutely love this thing. It takes some really fantastic pictures as long as you know what your doing. The auto mode leaves a little to be desired but as long as you run it in one of the manual settings the pictures are really nice. I'll put some examples of what I've done with it as well. The only things that might want you to upgrade are that it can't take video and the max ISO is 1600.

some examples, if your looking for a nice camera to start with and don't want to break the bank, this is a great place to start. Just keep in mind it does not take video.
