I'm trying to work out if it's worth upgrading my ancient P&S (a Sony Cybershot, if that means anything to anyone), and if a better P&S would suit my needs or if I'd need to get serious DSLR gear.

Mostly what I'm after is getting shots of environments for art references - I don't need many features, but my currents P&S chokes on... well, anything less than daylight. I guess my question is whether a decent P&S could deal with shooting in the dark (I don't need action shots, so I'm fine with long exposure times) or is that just something point and shoot cameras inherently can't do well?

I’d say get a Sony RX100. There have been seven main versions over the years, and I recommend getting at least a mark III (that’s when they added a nifty pop-up viewfinder and a faster lens).

Nice. I’ve definitely considered the XF10 before. Ended up going with a used RX1003, bit if I ever want a compact camera with a prime lens that’ll be on my short list.

Does any camera manufacturer make a cell phone app that isn’t terrible to use?

I’m thinking more of the PTSD-inducing transfer/tethering apps I’ve used from Sony and Canon.
