For everyday/vacation photos, go with a mid-range or flagship smartphone.   I have come to realize there is one thing that smartphones can do better than any dedicated camera and that is be "quick on the draw".  Usually, you just need to double click on the sleep button or do a swipe and you are ready to take a picture. When you are done, just push the sleep button again and slide phone right back into pocket - very fast process that allows one to not miss any shots.  With dedicated cameras, you have to push the power button, wait for the lens to extend, take picture and push power button again, wait for lens to retract - becomes very tedious when repeated many times.  Use dedicated camera for special purpose like zooming.
