Thanks everyone for the much needed help. Reading your advices (and considering my budget) I bought the RX100. I am going to my trip with my HX80 (for outside) and the RX100 for claudy weather and inside. I made a note for myself looking at ZS60 and ZS70 next time.
Now I wonder about the best SD cards I should have for this two cameras. I am going to open a post with that question. Thanks again for the advices. Seems to be in a good company.

That's a very interesting travel-camera combination.
Thank you for letting us know what your decision is, as we don't always get feedback from inquirers.

SD cards are inexpensive today, compared to a decade ago. SanDisk would be my first choice.

I have the Panasonic lumix zs100 which I love. It has a one inch sensor and a good zoom and takes very sharp pictures. You can also get it very reasonably because they have recently introduced the ZS 200

Not at all. It’s a smallish point and shoot. Recommend by several sites as a great travel camera

" It’s a smallish point and shoot." ~ I was comparing it to the Sony RX100III, which is about maximum for my jean pockets.
"Recommend by several sites as a great travel camera" ~ Indeed it is. It was Tom Dempsey's favorite pocketsize travel camera until Sony brought out their RX100VI.

Edit: In the above, Tom makes this statement:
In its favor, Panasonic ZS100 costs 55% less, captures superior edge-to-edge macro (5 cm close focus magnification best at 45mm equivalent, versus 8 cm on RX100M6), has longer battery life (CIPA-rated 300 shots vs 240 shots), and has stronger flash (8.0 meters vs 5.9 m at Auto ISO). In historical perspective, this 2016 feat of miniaturization allows image quality from the 20-megapixel ZS100 to rival all of my cameras used over 34 years until 2012 (beating my cameras up to 4 times heavier, up to 11x zoom range, up to 12 megapixels, at base ISO 100).
