What camera should I buy instead of the sony rx10 ii?

If you want a bridge camera like the RX10 II, the closest alternatives on this site are its siblings. The Sony RX10 IV has a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch sensor and a 24-600mm-equivalent zoom, so it's the pick if you want more reach, for wildlife or a safari. The Sony RX10 has a 20.2-megapixel 1-inch sensor and a constant f/2.8 24-200mm-equivalent zoom, which suits you if that range is enough.

If you'd rather carry less, a 1-inch compact like the Sony RX100 series is the smallest step up from a phone. For most people starting out, though, I'd still go for a mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor and its kit zoom. See Your first camera for why.
