Good? No idea. Necessary? Most definitely.

If you want a small digital camera separate from your phone, it should do the job. The problem is that mid range phone cameras have comparable quality, so most people are better off spending £40 more on their next phone than they would’ve otherwise. As a result of this reality, these sort of cameras aren’t in high demand, and don’t have many options available. If I wanted a phone separate from my camera, I’d probably save up for a DLSR or film camera, as I’d get better pictures and more out of the experience. However, if you absolutely must have this type of camera, I won’t stop you.

Not a rip off, but if you have any second hand/thrift shops near you I think it wouldn’t be too hard to find something like this for <10£. If it turns on, takes a pic, and is not visibility broken it’s good, they don’t really degrade usually (until they die completely)

will cost probably a lot more but if you find a good deal on a superzoom camera those are neat because at the max zoom range you can get some shots that not many other cameras can take (and certainly not phones) I got a used sx60 hs for like $200 a couple years ago, compared to my phone (oneplus 12) it’s decent at macro, great at high zoom, but worse at basically anything else. of course if you want that look then it’s good for that too lol. Also keep in mind that those all have pretty small sensor sizes (actually apparently the sx60 hs has exactly the same sensor size as this camera) so you need the area to be pretty bright for max zoom to be usable, and fast subjects are pretty hard. curated photo dump: TV captive birds wild birds (i really don’t know why that hawk let us get so close to it…) full zoom macro (it can actually focus on the lens, if you ever want to do that) top of the london eye random helicopter can get some nice bokeh full zoom range across the thames

My mom probably still has the amazing Polaroid digicam that I bought on clearance around 99. It could store, like, 20 VGA images on the internal storage. It took around 5 seconds to capture an image that looked like it had been forgotten at the bottom of a half eaten bowl of ramen.
