Compact Camera, Small Camera, Pocket Camera

With a point and shoot camera you can take higher quality photos than your smartphone, and perhaps most importantly you get a real optical zoom capability. Dedicated cameras have larger digital sensors than a smartphone, which allows them to take higher resolution pictures with increased low light performance. You also get a bright flash on most models, which will easily outcompete a smartphone, especially at distance. The other great benefit is that you have a real optical zoom. Zooming on most phones is really just stretching the image, whereas a camera has a real zoom lens for better quality.
