Camera recommendations

[Big Jumby 74]

Hi all. Photography was never a strong point for me, although did take pictures with some basic camera's/SLR's way back, in the time of 35mm roll film and before. But for various reasons my use of camera's as such dropped of a cliff many years ago, and whilst I appreciate some will advocate the use of phone technology in todays world, I would prefer to use a proper camera, albeit digital perhaps, which has obvious benefits image wise.
I'd appreciate any views / recommendations in that regard, and would be looking to pay probably no more the 500 of our finest £ - I may be well out of date on pricing however, so may have to adjust that figure, or find another past time!

TIA

Hello @Big Jumby 74 this thread has a few suggestions that are within the budget you mentioned.

Compact camera advice.

I am looking for a decent compact camera that has a good autofocus system as well as a reasonably good low light capability and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. My Canon G5X is faulty and can't be repaired or replaced as the model is now discontinued.

And - purely as an example of what a sub £500 digi compact camera's photos can look like - this thread I showed a few of my images. Well, the less awful ones...
