Disneyland : Take Canon DSLR or Sony RX-100?

Depends on whether your goal is to photograph the park or have fun with the family and experience the park.

Exactly.

Bring the Sony. Feel free in the process. Makes wife and kids happy, and no worries on the rides. Just bring an extra ziplock back to put the camera in when you do the watery stuff.

The DLSR will get in your way.

I did Disney for two days this summer and was much happier without all the gear.

I've been to Disneyland multiple times and I'm just going to come out and say it. You aren't going to get anything from Disneyland besides run of the mill snapshots regardless of camera. So what's the point? Best case they are going on facebook or in a small photo book and nobody will care what camera you used. Every Disney photo gallery I've seen is basically the same.

I've seen some great shots in the disney gallery on this forum so I'm not sure this is true but I see what you mean.

Thats why I take a DSLR with an UW or prime so I can get something that a p/s cannot. I've had a lot of fun just using my G15 but I always take a DSLR to use when I feel like it ( I just leave it in the room safe when I don't feel like lugging it ). When I do take out the DSLR its just 1 lens like a 17-40, 24 or 50 prime. I find its not much effort to carry this way and I feel I can get some more unique shots that I cannot get with the G15.

Still shooting at any theme park I generally want simple family fun shots so a good small camera does the trick for me but sometimes I want to have some fun with my camera and on those days I take out the DSLR.
