That could be almost any 35mm camera - chances are, probably a compact with a flash built in, but it could've been one of the 100s of compact cameras that were produced over the years.
 
Could be absolutely anything...

The camera itself has very little bearing on what the photo itself looks like as it is just a light tight box to hold the film, these look like they could be from a compact camera because the flash is at a similar level to the lens.

The things which will have a bearing on the photo are the lens and film

From these, i can tell you nothing about the lens, but the film looks to be a very very grainy colour negative, from the colour rendition it looks like a cheap one, could be any one as the cheap ones look very similar.

Could be Kodak, Fuji or Agfa, probably an ISO 200 or 400

Thats all i can guess
 
Oh, ok. Well thanks than, i thought there was a specific types cause most of film cameras have a clearer and brighter colors than these, but I guess ill have to try and see!:)

Mine was the "mobile app" response! :D

With the right selection of film and a flash, you could emulate this look with anything from a £1 compact in a charity shop bin all the way to something like a Nikon F3, which was the professional camera of the 1980s.
 
OP, do you know for sure they were all shot on the same camera?

1st and 3rd images show pincushion distortion which isn't present on the rest.

1st image also shows pretty bad corner softness and it looks like the corners have been lightened, possibly to correct vignetting yet other images show good sharpness in the corners and no fall off or editing in the corners.

First thing I'd have thought from some images showing distortion and others not would be SLR with different lenses but the position of the flash would suggest compact and the similar field of view in all images would suggest either a constant focal length or one that didn't change much (ie not an slr user changing between wide and normal primes).

Could still be an slr with a zoom lens and just using much of the range or could be a couple of different compacts, one 28mm with distortion, one 35mm less distortion/softness.

I think that's all irrelevant though as it sounds like you want to emulate the colours? Contrast and colour rendition can be products of the lens but are more likely down to the film used.
