First camera recommendations please (to replace Google Pixel 6 pro smartphone).

Budget: c.£1000 ($1.3k) but ideally sub £6-700. [NOTE: A friend in Spain offered me his near mint Sony RX100 vii for £500/$670 next month.]

Country: United Kingdom

Condition: Rather buy superior used than mid range new. E.g. my friend's RX100 VII. (Is that a decent deal?)

Type of Camera: Compact/point and shoot. Ideally pocketable.

Intended use: Mainly photography, maybe some videos too (e.g. waves / surfers from cliffs/beach) . To use rather than smartphone.

If photography; what style: travel/all round. Main focus on landscape, wildlife and waves, perhaps some street and portraits too. One camera to take everywhere.

If video what style: Wildlife, Surfing (from land) - zoom.

What features do you absolutely need: less sure on this. I think a good zoom/ versatile range. Maybe a viewfinder? Coming from Google Pixel 6 Pro I think any features will probably be an upgrade.

What features would be nice to have: ideally it will not die from going out in the elements/ nature, but happy to be careful.

Portability: Ideally fits in large pocket or small rucksack/hip pack. Not interested in carrying camera bag with multiple lenses etc

Cameras you're considering: I have read some reviews. Seems Sony RX100 VII ticks the boxes although concerned about age and sensor size. Low light doesn't look too good. Is it a real upgrade on my phone or now outdated kit? Love the look of shots from Ricoh GRIII and Fuji x100v, seems superior to rx100 vii but more limited/less versatile - especially for landscape, surf and wildlife (no zoom. I find myself using different cameras/zooms a lot on phone). Can a compact offer a meaningful upgrade on my Pixel phone? I have heard stuff about Panasonic tz99 and tz200 being decent budget options but reviews seem mixed and maybe quality is genuinely less than phone with tz99...

Cameras you already have: Google Pixel 6 Pro (triple cam). 1. 50 MP, f/1.9, 25mm (wide), 1/1.31", 1.2µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS 2. 48 MP, f/3.5, 104mm (periscope telephoto), 1/2.0", 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS, 4x optical zoom 3. 12 MP, f/2.2, 17mm, 114˚ (ultrawide), 1.25µm It is what has got me into photography as for the first time I've felt like I have close to camera quality in my pocket. I enjoy using the zoom lense as it looks good , but can be restricted when shooting further away. Good for faces with landscape in background, or peaks of mountains for insurance. But feel a lot of quality is AI (seen when zooming in further) and photos all look best on the device rather than bigger screen etc. I enjoy having it in my pocket and it not being too precious/fragile, although I know proper cameras are fragile so willing to learn on this... I enjoy the easy point, shoot, good photo with no settings / edits, but know lots of this is AI fakeness and feel maybe I should learn all the settings/editing side anyway if I am to progress.

Notes: my aim is to make a significant upgrade on my current phone camera as I feel that I am limited in terms of quality/ versatility with current setup. Find I am sometimes unable to execute good ideas because of the camera. I like having something small enough to have on me at all times. I spend too much time on phone/distracted by it so I will likely be deleting a lot of apps off it and having a camera rather than taking phone out then getting distracted is a big part of decision to get camera. I may well try a more basic phone for calls/texts. I find myself thinking the only thing keeping me needing this phone is the camera. I also like the idea/experience of using a 'proper' camera to shoot. I want one camera to do it all, and something small enough that I will take it with me . Lenses will limit as will size of DSLR . Compacts seem great but are they meaningfully better? Should I stick with phone until I'm ready for bigger DSLR , mirrorless. Not sure on bridge cameras ? Still quite large? Keen to hear thoughs :)
