I now use a Canon G9X. It is a bit heavy compared to a Smartphone, but is much easier to hold truly steady for video vs. a smartphone. I also use my iPhone, but the Canon images are usually a bit sharper which I attribute to a more secure hold (NOTE: from a static rest, the iPhone will perform equally), but the Canon also supports RAW format.

I have also had great Olympus P&S in the past, but our Stylus Tough wasn't, and began giving soft and low contrast images. THe one great thing, was as prior poster noted, it does not have an expanding zoom lens which is better for water and dust proofing, but can compromise image quality on digital zoom vs. hardware zoom.

On a no load photo specific trip, I have carried my Canon 5D-III with an 85mm, but that is a bit large.
