I've gone through this process (Olympus DLSR and lenses, got tired of lugging on the bulk and weight, plus domestic air carrier restrictions are getting tighter.) I tried the Panasonic bridge camera (sensor too small).
I ended up buying the RX10Miv two weeks before taking a three week trip to Australia. I'm very pleased with the camera, although it has taken awhile to learn the menus, select the best AF choices for the shoot and set up the custom buttons. I downloaded the Sony Help Guide (400+ pages) onto a tablet. Very helpful, as I was learning as I went.

I would take nothing less than a d 850 Nikon with a Tamron 70-200. its a once in a lifetime trip for most and I wouldn't do it on the cheap. I have tried a lot of stuff and nothing compares to it, nothing!

For those “once in a lifetime” opportunities I will lug all my heavy stuff, my D850’s are incomparable and they are there when i need, want the very best. I agree w/last contributor.

I have not completely decided as I want to head to a store and hold the Sony in my hands and feel its ergonomics. I appreciate the sage advice from those who have tried the camera.

The area of a 1" sensor is just a little more than 1/3 the area of an APS-C: 116 sq mm. With 20 million pixels, that means the RX10 Mk4 has approx. 172,400 pixels per square mm.
In other words, the RX10 Mk4 has a far more densely crowded sensor than your 70D. Nearly 3X as many pixels per square mm, in fact. To accomplish that, the pixel sites must be smaller and have less space between them. This can't help but reduce image quality noticeably....

Just to give an example of what the two gentlemen above are talking about...
First photo: original taken hand-held at 600 mm and ISO 640.
Second Photo: A 10x8 crop out of the first photo.
Third Photo: A 10x8 crop out of the second photo.
Some PP was required.

I am guessing that bird shots would not be a feature of this camera...espcially at 600. I have never shot anything at that range. Do you have examples at 300? Also, not so good at the math, is this last at 200% or more?

I believe the last is 710% of the original. I don't shoot much at 300 mm.
