What I plan on doing while on vacation

I want to maybe take my iPod with me on vacation; not just for internet, photo taking, videos, sharing, reading, or music. In fact, there’s a special app that I’d like to download which can help me obtain better imagery. It's called Gorilla Cam. Sure, my camera can already take great photos and is full of features, but nonetheless, it’s not perfect. In fact, no modern camera, no matter how expensive is perfect. So the app will enable me to essentially override the camera, and I will then be able to use functions that aren’t even available on my camera. Practically, the settings on this app can replace my camera’s settings because even though much of them are the same, they enable me to capture HDR images quicker, especially when trying to achieve long exposure. My camera has a 2 second and a 10 second timer; that’s practically it. For my requirements I need about a five second delay, or alternatively be able to take a photo with my camera remotely via iPod. Two second delay actually doesn’t always help to hamper down vibrations enough, especially when you’re zoomed in and have a high pixel count. And for making hdr images, the 10 second timer is more of a waste of time, I usually like to make HDR photos using at least three photos, which means that with a 10 second timer, I’d need to wait more than half a minute; not bad for one photo here and there, but when taking tens of them, time can add up. Sure, my camera can do exposure bracketing but without a timer, and the exposure interval when maxed out is only 0.7 EV. My camera, a Sony, is great at having good color depth and dynamic range, but the processor...not so much. Canons and Nikons seem to have better features. Canon has CHDK for their compact cameras, and Magic Lantern for the SLRs. And plenty of Panasonic cameras have 4k and focus stacking, which is missing on my Sony. The Sony A6000 is a great camera which has some of these features, but it’s not a pocketable (compact) camera. I wish that I could replace my camera today with a Panasonic. In this instance, you just have to accept what you already have, and use it to the full potential. I think that mini, compact, version of a Fuji XT100 or Olympus OM-D EM10 would be great, if it had 4k at 60p (only 15p available with the Fuji) and if it had 24 megapixels, along with an APS-C sensor. Of course, Full Frame sensors are better in some ways, but I’m not sure that it’s possible to put a Full Frame sensor into a compact camera. Also, since I’d like a zoom lens with very quick aperture, the lens would most likely be huge.
