To address the OP question: fine suggestions for P&S cameras. The biggest hassle while riding is being familiar with the tiny buttons on your particular camera. Some of the kiddie cameras take decent pictures, are bigger with bigger buttons and are made to be dropped. Lots of cameras cheap at thrift stores but you gotta have what may be unique charger, batteries, connecting cords and manual. If you were born after around 1990 you probably know someone older who still has their complete kits in a drawer somewhere that they used until their phone got good enough to take over picture taking. You may have to deal with the grueling inconvenience of using a connecting cord or SD card reader, but you get the option of keeping photos out of the digital world. As for the translation, an earlier post mentioned the possibility of dropping and breaking the camera, a less significant loss than a cel phone. As for fiddling, attempting to safely navigate potentially unpredictable road surfaces while coaxing pleasing sounds from a musical instrument while taking pictures could put the safety of camera, bike, fiddle, bow and rider at risk.
