Looking for a fun point and shoot

Helllloo! I’m looking to buy a new or used digital point n shoot camera and need advice as there’s way too much out there and I feel like so many people default to the G7X.

Budget: $200 and under ideally
Country: United States
Condition: New or used
Type of Camera: point and shoot

Intended use: Photography & video
If photography; what style: daily life, portraits
If video what style: Vlogging

What features do you absolutely need: size and decent quality are my top priorities

What features would be nice to have: HD video/ overall better quality for the price
Portability: needs to fit in a purse or bag

Cameras you're considering:
AgfaPhoto Realishot DC8300
Canon Ixus 175
Canon PowerShot SX130 IS
Kodak PIXPRO FZ55
Sony Cyber‑shot DSC‑T99
Sony Cyber‑shot DSC‑W800
Nikon Coolpix S6300
Nikon Coolpix A100
Nikon Coolpix S4000

Cameras you already have: canon eos rebel t2i - good quality but is way too large to bring out

Thanks for any help and suggestions :)

I notices Older Nikons Going UP in 2026?

I have D60, D40's and D40X's
Just last year I picked up two from two different people.
Low shutter counts, and with Lenes, was about 60.00
Seemed fair for a decades old camera. These are amazing Camera.
But I noticed the last month I decided to buy and extra one and the
Bodies alone are going for 50+ add a lens and the clock up to 150 some beyond.

So I did a search to see and sure enough what I was paying was normal a few YTBers say the same.
Then of course it now make sense. Limited inventory of these and welcome to capitalism.

My question is, (because I never kept track) Does this mean they will now always be higher?
Or does it wear off?
Id like another one of each, but I know they are asking more then I think is fair.
Only based on the fact they were not like that even last year.

My first time with a digital camera. Sony Cybershot DSC-W220

Photos may not be that good since it's my first time, but I'm really excited to capture life with something that isn't my phone camera :)

Just some Yard flowers. Nikon D40X 2008 ( UV filter attached)

Experimenting with UV filter. Was hard to get the right ISO as its dark light and full sunlight.

Olympus E-P1 (2009)

I think stylistically the body has aged incredibly well, the build quality is very very good. it’s just a shame about the banding at high iso.

North Finistère on finepix f810 (2004)

Unreal manual mode on this long guy. The live screen preview is way off, so it takes some adjusting but it's rewarding.

Also, I love the wide mode more than I thought I would!

My girlfriend just got her bachelors and we are all so proud of her!
Congrats to everyone who’s graduating this season! 🫶🏽🎓

First clicks (LUMIX LX3)

Aware of its limitations in some darker scenarios, but also aware of its quality in more advantageous moments, I'm trying to approach it like a film camera, editing with some grain and framing. I liked the results.

Video Store On Its Last Day Nikon D40 2006

Started with VHS, rented video games, then DVDs and CDs and then closed.
