Depends on what phone you have, the camera on mine is absolutely tosh, and I wouldn't use it at all for any picture I wanted to keep. My mates iPhone however, produces perfectly serviceable shots, and I'll sometimes get him to use that rather than get my camera out. I wouldn't spend on a top end phone just for a better camera though, when I've got a decent camera anyway. Especially as, for me atleast, phones are a temporary gadget that rarely last more than a couple of years, when I generally inherit my son's last cast off!

Ive been a pro photographer for over 35 years and shoot with a Sony A1. I use it nowadays for wildlife chasing white-tailed sea eagles around the isle of Mull mostly. But my fishing pics I use a Samsung S23 ultra. I stick it on a mini tripod that can fit in a pocket and pop it on a bait bucket. I position myself in the screen and say "shoot" and job done, its that easy. The quality is very impressive, especially if youre just using it for social media, I would even print from them.

There are compacts capable of great shots but if you're just looking to use in Auto mode you're probs just as well using your phone mate. Setting a compact up for a decent shot is the exact same process as DLSR/mirrorless (in fact it can be harder as your settings are hidden in menus rather than having dedicated dials or switches).
You don't need to study to use a DSLR, especially for trophy shots. You can just use aperture priority mode which is really easy - the camera does most of it for you.

Panasonic Lumix G5 - very compact / full flip screen / integrated intervalometer / bluetooth graffs to phone / upload to socials. . .you can pick these up cheap - I 'upgraded' from my ancient Canon G6 bridge camera that tbf is still excellent for carpy shots!
Or - if you want the latest more compact 'vlogging' camera - Lumix G100 . . .

If I wanted something with less size (and complexity) than my main camera, I'd be looking at a premium compact like the Sony RX100 or Canon G series. Some of the models will have both your requirements of a flip screen and intervalometer. Where they don't have the intervalometer, an aftermarket intervalometer remote would solve that as long as compatable with the chosen model.

Hi , looking for opinions and suggestions. I have become guilty of using my iPhone / portrait mode for all catch pics . Iv got some good shots and some that could be better. I own an old bridge camera that comes out mainly for night shots , i downloaded an intervelometer onto it .
I’m thinking I would like to improve my photography again . I don’t however want to go down the dslr route as I don’t have the time to learn the process . My thinking is with today’s technology surely there are bridge cameras capable of high quality shots ?
Ideally I would want a bridge camera with flip round screen and built in intervelometer . I’m sure I will never get dslr quality with a bridge but what’s the options ?
