If you think the N5 is good then pretty much any dedicated camera will blow you away :)
It totally depends on how much money you want to throw at it but at the 'fancy' end of the spectrum, the sony RX100 (mk1,ii or iii) is hugely popular and benefits from a larger-than-average sensor, as does the Fuji x20/30. Then there is the more traditional compact formfactor like the Canon S120, which is the top of that particular heap.
Panasonic do some really great dinky cameras with very good image quality too.Its a 'how long is a piece of string' question...
Am going travelling next year so would like a decent small camera to take, any advice on what to look at would be great. Do you think it would be better to get a camera or a phone with a decent camera, have been using my N5 for the last year to take photos and it hasn't been to bad.
