Holiday Camera Help

I need help choosing a camera for our holiday please. I’m going round and round in circles looking at different options as I don’t understand half of what they’re talking about.

Not sure if this exists for up to £500 budget but I need a camera that:

  1. can zoom into the distance and take a better quality photo than an iPhone. For example, take a photo of a bird in a tall tree.
  2. can take decent close ups. For example, a bug on a leaf.
  3. can take decent action shots.
  4. can video with more detail than an iPhone.
  5. can make me look like Julia Roberts 😂

I have been looking at the Olympus Tough as we will be on the water so the waterproofing was a positive. It also has a macro setting but I wasn’t sure how good the distance zoom is?

Ideally I would like a point and shoot type camera and not have to swap out lenses.

TIA

Hi, I found your post while searching for the same question for myself - my budget is similar too. May I ask what camera you ended up going for and whether you're happy with it? Sorry if it's a but cheeky to ask when no-one helped you at the time...
