I have had an LX100 for a few years. My wife bought a ZS100 this year. We both "love" our cameras.

What would you like to know?

The new Sony DSC-RZ10IV is supposed to be an awesome camera for travel (24-600mm, 35mm equivalent). Great IQ, a little pricey but earlier versions are also great and at much lower pricing. I was looking at it myself but I have a Sony A6500 with Sony 10-18mm lens (superb lens) for walking around and inside Cathedrals, Castles, historical sites, etc and an 18-200 for any further range for all my travels overseas....and that combination meets my all my needs. Traveling stateside I add my Sony 70-400 ever where I go.

The RX10IV is bulky. The ZS100 will fit in a (loose) pocket or small purse. It has an 25-250mm equivalent lens.

I've been using the LF1 for a number of years. Great camera!! You can
find a used model at a very attractive price.

My wife traded her LF1 for her ZS100. After two long trips, she thinks she did the right thing.

For me, the question is whether or not I want a pocket camera or will carry a camera bag. Once I am taking a camera bag, a small DSLR. Nikon d3300 if not larger. Increasingly for a pocket camera I use my phone. I have a Samsung with an extra card for storage.

I’m another advocate for the LX100.
I graduated from the LX3 which was a backup for my D7100.
However the LX100, with all the features it offers along with what I consider an ideal focal range on a beautiful lens, has
made it now almost my primary camera with the D7100 becoming the backup.

What, if anything, did you not like about your previous camera?
What aspects of it would you must have in another camera??
Is there anything about it which your cell phone cameras cannot do???

Just bought my wife a Sony A6300 and it is the ideal travel camera and with the kit lenses both of which are good and being a mirrorless it is also compact and lightweight with dust and moisture protection and 11fps drive and 4K movie mode all for under 1,300 dollars. Don't waste your money on anything less. In fact I am thinking of getting the A6500 as a backup to my Nikon D810 when weight is a consideration.

If I want to travel light the smallest camera I take is an A6000 with a kit lens. Won't fit in a pocket, but takes great pictures. Usually though I'll go a little bigger and take the 18-105mm, F4 with the A6000. Sharp as a tack, and covers pretty much anything but wildlife. I would rather carry a camera like that around all day then compromise and take a compact.

Spent a couple months testing different travel cameras. Highly suggest dpreview.com and review contrasts of different cameras with like settings. I physically tried Leica C Type 112, Canon G9X Mark II, Canon G7X Mark II, Sony RX100 MII, and Panasonic LX10. All have distinct advantages and each person will have a different view because of the settings, weight, etc. My objective review is the Leica is the best looking, lightest weight, and has the best zoom photo capability. The Panasonic images were a little soft around the edges and in corners and fades at zoom. The G9X performed great and similar to the Leica with less zoom power. The Sony probably has the best video but not as important for my needs and its stills often appeared under exposed. The G7X won out for me as the best all-around. The Leica was a very close 2nd for me because of it’s handiness and reputation for quality. The Leica and Panasonic companies have working agreements for sure but the Type 112 does not have the Leica’s vaunted German-made lens; more of the Panasonic value—yet very impressive. The G7x is the heaviest of the group but not bulky in any sense. I have always enjoyed the Canon support on-line or phone when needed. Leica has good support but not the easiest to communicate with always. Decision will also depend on if a viewfinder is needed, want a tilt (self) screen, etc. The fast lenses on these cameras do exceptionally well. My G7X takes great low-light photos as did the Leica. There are price swings among the aforementioned cameras of up to $200. Many values out there now.
Hope this helps.
