This. But also probably some variant of the Sony RX100 is what I'd go with.
Small, but a good enough sensor and lens with a lot of flexibility. I'd buy one uses though unless you need the newest one.

Or a Pentax Spotmatic with a 300 f/4 lens and some velvia 50 and portra 400.

The answer depends on how hefty a camera are you willing to transport with you, how much effort are you willing to expend learning features, what format will you use to display your pictures, and what price range are you seeking?

What kind of photography, I'm a big gear head with a bunch of pro Nikons, find my iPhone does pretty good for vacations and almost everything else. Took a Med cruise, probably took 500 pictures with the iphone and 10-20 with my FX DSLR.

I just use a point-and-shoot camera. If it's in my pocket

APS-C Mirrorless. It's small and takes professional quality pictures, IMO. With certain lenses it's almost pocketable!

I use the Sony A6000 series. With the Sony 35mm f/1.8 (equivalent to 50mm) it's my fav all around lens and is so small! People think my pics are from a massive DSLR camera.

My favorite portrait lens is a Sigma 56m F/1.4 (85mm equivalent), and I can't believe how small these lens are!

I wanna switch to full frame someday but i can't see myself lugging those heavy lenses across the world.

My personal suggestions are:
Nikon d580, Sony A7R III, Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Im usig Nikon D580 Camera for long-time. Good in quality and better comfortable.

I favor a m43 body, in my case it is a Olympus E-M5 Mark ll with their 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens. This is a weatherproof kit and the lens is a win-win for most of my needs.

Do you mean the Nikon D850? It's been on the market only for about a year now, so nobody is a long time user :)

Of course to each his own, but I'm not quite sure that a ToL full-frame pro camera, weighing in at 2 pounds for the body only is an ideal travel gear.

One of Canon's compact DSLRs like the SL3 and their 24mm/2.8 pancake lens. Super lightweight go-anywhere setup, optically great and an excellent walkaround focal length (equivalent to 35mm).

I've gone on multiple trips with nothing but that lens. Leaving everything else at home is incredibly freeing.

Leica makes great cameras but IMHO they make you a target when traveling.
