:stoned Photographers - super noob question, how to pick out poiant and shoot camera?

I have this old one from 10 years ago:
https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-c...ot-w180/specs/

People said that there are no important specs among cheap point and shoot, they said only f/ is what you can look for. The lower the better.

So I am looking that old one of mine has f/3.1-5.6.

What is n the market now, is:
https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-c...ot-w810/specs/
Which has f/3.5-6.5, which is higher than that of 10 year old camera.

Does that mean it would be even crapier? One would assume technologies went ahead from 10 years ago, not down Or was I misinformed about that f/ thing?

What other specs are important among point and shoot cameras?

Just trying to understand basics
