If you don't mind a camera with internet access for beginner level photos a pixel 3 or iPhone 6 can be found for around that price and both come with unlimited google photos backups.
A gopro is a good option I know people who found broken ones online and had gopro warranty them.
Otherwise see if any photography people have old cameras they don't use. I bought a nikon d2x from bh about 3 years ago for around 150 used which came with a basic lens. However this usually ends in buying several lenses and a new camera.

You might be able to get a disposable one for $50, but otherwise..

Canon ELPHs can sometimes be had refurbished from Canon for $50, or on clearance elsewhere.

Right now nothing for that price..
 They they do have here and there for under$100.
 Now the cheapest for a refurbished is $119. Or the elph 190 for$139.
 Both decent beginner's camera.

For $50, clearly he means medium format.

Pixel is not going away https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1#storage

That’s worded funny, but it sounds like it won’t make a difference for pictures that aren’t from the Pixel.

Just a few days (or is it weeks?) until the chauvin verdict, there should be some pretty hot "sales" somewhere near you...
