RX-100 has higher MP but smaller sensor - more noise but better detail when cropping?
But those lumix are physically smaller.
hippy-
I’ll take a pic of my GM1 to demonstrate the size. I had a GM5 as well, but didn’t really use the viewfinder (though wish the GM1 had a thumb scroll)
I have one of those Garmin edge elastic lanyards on it for security.Id have 16 megapixels in a larger sensor compared to 20 megapixels in a smaller one, especially as a lot of the detail and image quality will come from the lens.
You can pick up a GM1 with 12-32 lens for £200 or something these days, and if you supplement with a £100 or so pancake lens. (20mm f1.7 or 14mm 2.5)

If you’re looking for smaller portable interchangeable lens cameras, don’t overlook Panasonic/Olympus.
Lenses come much smaller, pancakes are super small, most have OIS in camera or lens.
The GM1/GM5 is ridiculously small, especially with the 12-32 pancake zoom or 14mm f2.5.
Slightly older versions can be really good value to buy, such as GX7 and GX80.
The G80 is one of the cheapest weather resistant Interchangeable lens cameras, though in a DSLR style body. Much smaller than your canon though.
