I bought and returned the rx100 vii.

It seems on paper to be the perfect travel camera, 24-200 equivalent and very small. Also has fast flash sync for good fill. But I found it too small to handle properly and to tweak controls. The viewfinder experience was not pleasant either.  Also, the flash is very weak, and not all that useable for fill despite the fast sync. I found that the focus was not quite as good as I had expected from a Sony.

In my view the Canon G1x iii has an amazing ability to get the right exposure, both with and without flash, and for me at least seems to be just the right size. Also great ergonomics. The large sensor (for a pocket camera) seems to give a richer appearance than that from a smaller sensor camera. On the down side, it is a little slow to start up.
