For my Panasonic Lumix FZ200 I use a remote, but there are also wireless remotes for this camera,

The FZ200 is an excellent allround bridge camera,

+1 to what he said.. But then again it's not exactly a compact digital camera per say. You may look at the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 if you want really light weight with semi-decent quality. You can use your smartphone as a remote with this.

Miguel has not really mentioned what kind of camera he wants, all he said was he needs one that works with a remote, so both camera's are options.

The Sony RX100 II or III also capable of connecting to smartphone for Remote.

Yes, but in fact a bridge is also a compact, only bigger

Miguel, what camera did you use before it broke? Apart from the remote, what kind of camera are you looking for (your budget, zoomrange, with EVF or not, pocketable or not, etc)?

The Sony RX100 Mk II and Mk III are the best compacts at the moment.

Now we are entering a grey area where I don't think anybody has the right answers. Albeit the bridge cameras can be classified as point and shoots, but are they compact? Arguable I would say. For me a compact camera is something that fits in my pocket, for others it may be something that doesn't need additional lenses. There are no standard bodies maintaining these definitions unfortunately.

Very good questions, one that should have been answered in the first post. I wish some of my friends bought the RX100s, I've heard very very good things about them.

You're right, a compact is what the name says, a small camera. When the camera starts to look like a DSLR, it's a bridge or hybrid.
Some system camera's have a small body but are not compacts. Very confusesing for someone who doesn't knows much about photography.
