Yes, would def like af and a flash. I’ve got a few cheap Olympus trip AFs (the not great modern ones) and enjoy taking those out with me

Check out Nikon's L35AF

Well it obviously depends on personal preference / your style of shooting (do you really need AF? Do you need flash?), budget, et cetera.
I just bought a few a couple of years ago, used them alongside each other, and by now sold (or broke) most of them.
I had a T4 as well and sold it. It was great but it was way too fragile to be thrown in my backpack daily, so I don't regret selling it even though I love seing pictures taken with it.
I sold my Olympus XA because the focussing was too fiddly for me. @mi7rennie later showed that it can be used as a point and shoot quite well with enough light - just f/8 and be there, basically. So I do regret selling that one.
I would love to try the Minox 35 series. Seen some great work done with them, never tried one though.
Same goes for Agfa Optima 1535.
I'm very sad I missed the chance to shoot a Ricoh GR. Buying one now would be even more insane than getting a T4.
tl;dr - get a camera that appeals to you, has half-decent optics, doesn't cost the world - and go enjoy shooting!
