Do you use more than (1) camera?

I am not shooting on my iPhone. Just a preference.

You said a "camcorder is nicer as it has all kinds of effects." I answered that. I said nothing about an iPhone so don't really understand your reply.

30 years ago, in-camera effects were always a last resort kind of deal. And they limited what you could do in post. Once we aquired the ability to cheaply and easily replicate in-camera effects in post, we shot almost everything straight. We also used to shoot video with soft filters to give it a more film-like look. Now, we mostly shoot straight and, again, apply the filters in post.

I must have misunderstood you sorry. I was actually just playin with my canon camcorder and it does have effects, scene modes, other shooting modes, and even different audio modes not found on the iPhone.
 
I use the iPhone and a Lumix bridge camera. That works well for 90% of what I want to shoot. However, I keep waiting for the Sony RX10 V as my gift to myself for surviving lockdown, but it is beginning to feel like Waiting for Godot.

What type of camera is this? A DSLR or other pro camera? Or a P&S?

It's a bridge camera (only one (Zeiss) lens that covers macro to zoom, but to a decent standard - see https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/dsc-rx10#local_banner_default and
for a review). It's not really a pro camera, but one for enthusastic hobbyists. On my part the RX-10 fits the bill for being portable, robust and versatile, since I do a lot of hillwalking, but the latest model was released in 2017. Rumours of a new model being released have been circulating since 2019, but COVID seems to have delayed the introduction of the next model or killed it off completely. I could buy the model introduced in 2017, but it seems weird paying so much for a design that is four years old. :/

Wow
 
I love my RX10 IV -- definitely it is a bridge camera and the range is excellent, from 24mm - 600mm (35mm equiv on a 1" sensor). Although it can be used as a P&S it also can be manually controlled by the photographer to the extent desired. It's really useful for travel or for walking around casually. I initially bought mine back in 2018 to take on a trip and didn't expect to like it as much as I do. If Sony ever does bring out an RX10 V, I probably would buy it, but I have the feeling that an. update to the RX10 series camera probably won't happen.
