These days a camera choice really depends on what you like to shoot. For travel, family, dogs, portraits, street photography, and landscape, modern hi res phone cameras are so good they defy physics. I got an iphone 15 Pro last year and that is all I take for 90% of my casual shooting. For sports, wildlife, and occasional SpaceX launch shots, there is no substitute for large glass and that is where my Sony mirrorless shines.
Your old one is called a superzoom with nice optics, relatively small sensor. The Panasonic has a nice version of this with 1" sensor and pretty long glass that does what it does well.

The Sony RX100 offers smaller size with excellent resolution and optics, less zoom range.
