If you want the highest optical product, the RX-10 with larger glass will probably be best for you. If you want portability, the RX100 series with the pop-up viewfinder is a fantastic product. I have owned both.
You made me to pull out the Sony rx100 and check it for pop up viewfinder. As I knew already, it doesnt have one. It only has a pop up flash. I wonder for your conviction otherwise!!
Thanks for the info I was trying to remember this from previous searches

Ditto what azted wrote. I have both of these cameras and use them for different environments. Ex: For bicycling, I might use the RX100 VII as it's small and I can stick it in my pocket. For hiking, I might use the RX10 as it's larger and has more zoom. I also have a Nikon D780, Z6ii, and Z50 with assorted lenses but sometimes just don't want to carry the gear, so the Sony's are both awesome cameras. Caveat: For everyone who tells you the menu system is a nightmare, it's really not......it's huge, yes, but you can create your own menu with functions you use frequently and problem solved. So don't let that scare you off.

Looking to buy a new camera, can't decide between bridge or compact. Looking for a good zoom lens, not too complicated to use, not fussed about wifi or touchscreen just one that takes great shots. Budget is up to £800.
Already have a Canon 4000D DSLR and a Panasonic Lumix TZ70 that I have had for ages and loved the picture quality and zoom but is now starting to have problems so wanting one to upgrade from this that I don't have to faff about changing lenses but gives me all theup to date features of a great camera. Most of the time my DSLR is gathering dust as it's too bulky to carry everything around.

…if you liked the TZ 70, compare the Panasonic LUMIX TZ 100 with the newer TZ 200…

Starting with an early version, they all have pop up viewfinders. Not a conviction, a reality!

Hard to beat the Sony RX10iv, but it might be a bit above your price limit. Perhaps a used one.
I've had both the RX10 III and IV; great cameras!

Newer versions have a pop up viewfinder.
What type of camera lenses do you now, are they Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic or Keica?
If you have any lenses what are the sizes 50mm, 28-75, 75-200 or 200-400mm lenses?
What size lenses are you looking for on a bridge camera? The bridge cameras from Sony or Panasonic have a fixed lens from 28-600mm and range in price $1000-$1600 US prices. These prices are for new bridge camera, with used cameras are under $1000 for Sony and cheaper for a Panasonic.
Hope this helps you to find a bridge camera in you price range.
Now for a camera base what are you looking for, are you looking for a base to match the lenses you have or are you going to purchase lenses later?
You can find a base for under $800 in you price range but when you add the accessories like a microphone, external flash and a camera case you are going to be spending as much or more than a bridge camera. Now all new camera base are mirrorless and will be in your price range without lenses. Have you thought of a APC-S Camera and lenses? These will be cheaper than a bridge or a mirrorless camera with the same Megapixels as a Mirrorless. Now you will have to decide on a,fixed lens camera that is half mirrorless, a mirrorless base or a APC-S camera.
Good luck
I am looking "at" (note grammer) replacing my DSLR D500 with two Full Frame Zooms. Too heavy and large for my latest usage such as cruise ships and other travel. Catching my eye is the Nikon Z50 or the Zfc. Leica DLux 7 is too expensive. Both Nikons are 14 oz and much smaller than any DSLR. My fear is losing picture quality. The Sony compact R100 is also an option. Not considering Lumix because of quality of the (panasonic) body. Is my thinking ok? Welcome comments.
Have you taken a look at the Sony RX10M4 or a Panasonic P1000 bridge camera? After you sell all your camera equipment it would cost you less than what you need to pay for a new bridge camera.

👍👍👍. I have the RX100v and the RX10iv ....both are great cameras. Other than the price, you won't be disappointed with the image quality.
