...was a AGFAMATCIC 200 with its huge orange "Sensor" button. It
was a gift from my parents to my tenth birthday 1976.
Some technical data: The lens (Color-Agnar) 40 mm f8.2 consists of
three elements and can be stopped down by one step, the shutter can be
set to two speeds (1/40 and 1/80 s). This yields to four
different exposure settings from cloudy to beach, which can be choosen
at the lens. As film format 126 cartriges (Instamatic) have to be
used. Through the open back cover the square (28 x 28 mm) image
window can be seen:

The camera is as simple, that it works without any problems even today.
Presumably you will have little chance to get some cartriges today, or
even somebody for film processing.
My slightly younger sister was given a similar model (presumably after
constant nagging). However, it was only an Agfamatic 100 (with only two
shutter speeds, without a possibility to stop down).
Flashing was possible, too. On top of the camerasmall
bluish flash cubes can be plugged in. While forwarding the film the
cube turns by 90°to be ready for the next of four possible flahes per
cube. Because these things were expensive, I could not try this to
often.
