Thank you all for the advice. I'm actually eyeing the G7 mark II now.

I am going on a Disney vacation this summer with my family and I am looking for a good photography solution for the trip. I will have my hands full with my kids and I am simply not going to lug around my DSLR all day long. I'm therefore considering the best option for a camera that fits in my pocket. I currently have an iPhone 6+, and that just isn't going to cut it; low light pictures are poor and any kind of zoom ends up with quite a bit of graininess. Therefore, I am considering two possibilities. The first is to get a new iPhone, which, obviously, I will be using for more than just photography. I'd be considering the newer 8 or X models. The second is to a a medium-range point and click camera. I'm not going to waste my time or money on a $100 camera that can't do anything my phone can't already do, but I was considering the Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II. I'm not 100% sold on this model and am open to recommendations, but I'm not looking for a point and shoot much more expensive. So my question is, how do the newer iPhones stack up against the middle of the road point and clicks? I imagine that at Disney, my time will be split between good lighting, and dark/indoor lighting. Any recommendations or personal experiences are greatly appreciated.
