Any cameras similar to this that have the pop-up screen, so if I want to take a picture of me and a group I can see what I'm doing. I like older cameras I don't know what it is about them but the pictures just look different in a way that I like. it's not really a nostalgia cuz I'm like 20 .I had a Polaroid growing up and not one of these but I like the look of them preferably sub 150 but I have up to 300 I can spend.

This is an international website so always define your currency. I'll assume you mean US$150-300.

Those old cameras had tiny Type 1/2.3 sensors. That tiny sensor played a big part in the "look" of the photos. Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc stopped making small sensor cameras maybe 10? years ago.

Panasonic Lumix has bucked this trend and recently released the DC-ZS99. It has a small sensor and selfie screen but it's $500.

Let's see, on a whim I bought a different $500 small sensor camera. Here are a couple of sample photos below. Do these have that "look" you're searching for?

You might be able to find a Sony A5000 in your price range. It has a flip up screen and other good features.

It is a apsc sensor that is bigger than the point and shoot one you posted.

Sony A5000 overview on this site.

Retro is a term that’s broadly used and easy to misunderstand. The example camera you posted seems to ME to be less about retro and more about toy/point&shoot. Can you post a few more images of both the cameras and the results? CCD sensors often render differently. And as another user mentioned the smaller sensor size also drives some of the look.
