Small camera like mobile phone?
Discussion
Is there a small point and shoot camera that is like a mobile phone? One with a built in battery I don't need a separate charger for, one the plugs into the mains to charge just like a mobile phone. Around £100 mark possibly more.
Please don't answer "why don't you use a mobile phone" There are reasons why I ask
Thank-you.

Amazon have a number of small compacts that support USB charging for under £100. No idea how good they are though.

gets OK reviews

Depends what you're taking photos of, but there are plenty of go pro clones on Amazon for under £100 if you want something with a fixed field of view (no zoom). If you want something with a bit of zoom and a flash the simplest option would be a second hand compact camera from eBay, they're practically giving them away as no-one wants one. Don't be too concerned about the removable battery, practically every camera released in the past 10 years can be charged with a USB cable, if in doubt find the pdf of the manual and check in there.
For example this one

Is from 2015 (I think) but could well suit your needs, manual is here and shows the USB port that can be used for charging on page 12.

As above, ebay for second hand.
If you want new:
Sony W800 is only £90:
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-comp...
Sony W830 is £130:
https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-comp...
Your money will go a lot further second hand, if you post a bit more about what you want/need then it would help.
There's also a Photo and Video forum on PH:
