I'm also a pocket camera fan. My current Panasonic Lumix was about $200 during a pre-Christmas sales period a few years ago. It's a point & shoot but has some easy settings that are fast to switch into. (One I like' for example, is "shoot through glass" - got some fun photos of a bear swimming in the Yellowstone River once, taken through a window.)
Charge lasts a long time, hundreds of pics on one memory card, Incredible zoom, easy to use, and it's ALWAYS with me. I use it constantly on trips. I download the photos to my iPad so we can enjoy them as we travel, and back home onto my desktop PC.
The bulky, heavier, expensive cameras with pricey attachments my relatives have seem to get left behind fairly often because it requires a conscious decision each time whether or not to drag them along to a restaurant, river raft trip, railway trip, hike, etc.
Haven't used a smart phone camera but same principle - it's with you when you need it.
