I am looking for a small camera to use with strap around my neck when I’m riding my motorcycle. This way I don’t have to pick up an iPhone to take a picture while I’m riding. Something that has a little bit of zoom point and shoot type Do you have any recommendations? I saw a guy with a small Sony but I was on able to get the model number from him.

I recommend any of the many Panasonic or Sony fixed lens pocket/compact cameras. Prices vary. Some come only with a wrist strap. But, you can purchase an alternate neck strap for them.
That’s a nice one the one I saw was a bit smaller adding this one to my list thanks

You should never take pictures while riding a motorcycle. That's akin to texting while driving and probably against the law.

Thatâs true, but when I stop no problem Sometimes I bring this when purposely heading to the ocean or parks
Look at a binocular harness strap which would keep the camera from swinging around.

Mounted in your windscreen, set to auto w/auto focus and a remote shutter release on the grip.
All good advice. A relative gave me an older Canon PC1309 which will work for now. This is not the camera for mounting on the windscreen. I would use a GoPro with helmet mount or the small Sony video camera... This one is to hang around my neck or in my shirt pocket for snap shots...
The Leica C Type 112 May be just what you are looking for.....small and thin, very light-weight, extremely versatile, great zoom on a small pocket camera, and of course the great Leica capabilities.

Sony RX-100 Mk3, 4, or 5.

Actually my wife has a Sony Coolpix S3000 that is perfect regarding size. Very small but... It's broken (LOL). You can pick them up on eBay for $30.00 or so.
