Useful links for the conversation, many thanks. Did not think about the USB cable as I have a card reader in my computer and just remove the memory card. But of course, a cable would be needed for battery recharging so it would double for image transfer.

I know nothing about these el-cheap point&shot cameras but this one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/CAMKORY-Ant.../dp/B0DG88H16Y) gets a good review and is most likely, within the price range for a starter camera.

On a different topic, I don't understand how my Nikon D300 with a mere 12mp sensor size can give good result, when this one has a 44mp sensor. What am I not understanding?
