Calendar View in both SharePoint and Outlook
- Aug 11, 2023
OneHundredthProfile There is no SharePoint out of the box calendar web part available in SharePoint online modern experience.
You can create a calendar view in SharePoint online lists but unfortunately you cannot sync it with the Outlook calendar.
So, If you are looking for SharePoint out of the box options, you will have to use the classic experience calendar currently. You can also create the calendar list from SharePoint UI. Check my answer here for detailed steps: Issue with adding app option
Else, you will have to use the custom solutions like:
- Create a custom SPFx web part - you can use Microsoft Graph API calls to read the outlook data in SPFx. Check Showing a calendar as a group calendar instead of events web part and Outlook to SharePoint
- Use Power automate to update outlook calendar whenever there it item created/updated/deleted in SharePoint list
- Create Canvas Power Apps, add SharePoint and Outlook connector to show events or add/update/deleted events

I do not understand this one. This is the experience I see regardless whether I search for "calendar" or "picture library" as in your example:
Is it possible that the experience you refer to has been changed? I seem vaguely to recall that the menu under +App used to be different.

Here I am saying that you can create a classic experience Calendar list in SharePoint. To create the calendar list, you will have to use the classic experience add an app page in SharePoint.
In your screenshot, you can see the link to go to classic experience add an app page here:
This is mentioned in the step #3 in my answer available at (I think you skipped this step): Issue with adding app option
You can search for "Calendar" after navigating to classic experience add an app page. If you don't want to follow the steps given in above link, you can directly go to classic experience add an app page using the URL in this format (then you can search for "Calendar"):
<your-site-url>/_layouts/15/addanapp.aspx
Example:
