I've been out of the camera and camcorder scene for a while now since I've been happy with the ones I've bought over 10 years ago, but I heard about some cameras that require apps on your phone to even work. I think it was the Insta or DJI cameras. That's pretty wild. I hope point and shoots and mirrorlesses aren't like that because I was looking into to getting a new one soon.
Mirrorless and P&S cameras should still be able to work without an app. Also, there's always used SLRs.
