I just read this article which does not rate my Sony camera...any other suggestions for Peter?
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII
There was a time when Sony's RX100 cameras were hot property. Judged against other contemporary compact cameras, their 1-inch sensors and premium features made them worthy of serious consideration. But that was years ago, and times have dramatically changed. Even the latest iteration, the Mark VII, was launched four years ago. Back then a 1-inch sensor was still fairly impressive for a compact camera, but now a growing number of camera phones are packing the same (or almost the same) sized sensor, whereas the RX100 VII's sensor hasn't changed since the Mark IV, launched in 2015. Pitch this 8-year-old sensor against today's flagship camera phones, with their vastly more powerful image processing, and we'd wager the aging RX100 VII would be thoroughly annihilated in terms of image quality. All this might be acceptable if the RX100 VII sported a price tag similar to the rival $600 Panasonic ZS100, but in fact the Sony will set you back a cool $1,300, which makes no sense whatsoever.
