Sony RX100 Mark 3 or Canon G7x Mark II are the top point and shoots in the market. No need to change and it allows selfie taking. They are compact enough to even be put onto a smartphone selfie stick.

Horrible wide angle and over enthusiastic noise reduction on jpegs

Autofocus for the Canon is better than the Sony RX100(mark 3)
Color for the canon seems sharper and vivid but not sure if its just the screen...
and Sony no touch screen ....zzzz...wife has one.
we previously bought a sony nex5n ..mirrorless cam which had touch screen...and we were so used to using the touch screen.

Canon colors warmer (even overly so) and look like puke under luminescent lighting

Sony (at least up to mk3) has its crazy shit blue and reds.

The autofocus thing is more towards tracking videos.

As for touchscreen.. its somewhat useful for reviewing photos but other than that, its just unnecessary cost imo.

Autofocus for the pic as well. We compared side by side. Our friend had the canon we had the sony. Sony tad a lil slow..and when take sselfie always cannto detect my face for the sony...LOL. I still like the blue tints of the Sony...thats why we bought it at the end of the day.
Well yea....but we got used to the touch screen on our previous sony and since the menu were kinda same we kept pressing the screen hoping for some kind of feedback...lol...

The Canon is the MkII right?

Anyway.. my own travel gear are my regular camera gear.

Recently travelled with Fuji X-E2 + 18-55mm + a bunch of lens inside check in luggage which I didn't use.

Or when with the kid... GF7 with 20mm f1.7 or 14mm f2.5 mounted in one pocket and 12-32mm on the other... if that trip also includes some time alone for myself... I'll bring the GX7 body as well.

Other than that... there's always the smart phone.

Ok let me rephrase...

If I travel for myself and I want to enjoy the process of taking photos more than the results tongue.gif .. then I will bring my Fujifilm gear.

If I travel with family and kids whereby I need quick autofocus, selfies, short videos then I will bring my panasonic m43 gear.

This consist of:

Panasonic GF7 camera body with wide angle lens and keep a zoom lens in the other pocket.

Size comparison with RX100 mkIII

If I can do some hobby shooting, I will bring another bigger and more capable body ... the GX7 which uses the same lenses.

All those are mirrorless cameras right?
