I think the answer depends entirely on what and how you shoot. I shoot photos for a living, so when I travel for vacation, I usually don't want to so any "serious" photography. The Sony RX100 mark VI is a fabulous camera for this -- it fits in a pocket, and the image quality is quite good, good enough to make decent size prints if I do find a photo situation that warrants it. The downside is the very small size, slower lens, and slower interface -- it's not as responsive as a larger camera. But it makes great photos for its size.
