You might mean the VI? I was tempted to get the VI but settled for V since I found a good price.zoom of the lense.
Yes, you are right - when I walked the Camino Frances in autumn of 2017, I had an RX100 model VI with the more extended zoom. When I walked the Camino Frances in spring of 2016, I had an RX100 model III. There were only a very few times that I actually used or needed the longer zoom of the model VI for the picture I was after. The lens of the model III, IV, and V is quite sufficient for the types of pictures I was taking on my Camino walks. I have other cameras, including a Sony A-6000 with removable lenses, but I gravitate to my RX100 almost all the time - it is a VERY good camera (and I get far better pictures than with my phone). My Sony RX100 is now my favorite, "go to" camera.You might mean the VI? I was tempted to get the VI but settled for V since I found a good price.
32GB will hold about 700+ RAW files or 700 enormous jpegs. I'd suggest you can get about 3000+/ 32 GB depending on megapixels and jpeg compression.For an expensive camera extra battery and charger should be the better choice. So the cheaper battery and/or charger might be easily stolen, but not the camera and the fotos.
Take several memory cards with you and try to develop a backup strategy. For 4K videos you'll need speedy cards (U3 speed class), HD video will work with class 10. The read speed is usually given for publicity but not too important for the day by day use, though I'd suggest to buy an USB3.0 card reader, which normaly fits best to about 100MB/s ratings (UHS-I).
Depending on the data size and how much fotos / videos you take choose your card size. 32GB should be good for 700 JPEGs. Some photographers take this amount in one day, others need a week or longer. RAW Files and Video need much more space.
>With regard to the tripod - it adds 325g,
I've read 2oz ~75g! If it is 325g I'd rather look for special trekking poles that can be used as monopod.
The Pouch is good (have a blue one myself), only a fully waterproof pouch would be better sometimes.

Yes. I think its the same as the one that I have ordered: ACCTRDCJA charger to consider is the Sony-ACCTRDCX-Travel-Charger. This one is very small and light, and uses a USB cable.
I took a small tripod with me similar to the Pixi Evo and I recommend sliding some rubber washers/o-rings onto each leg so you can hook the tripod on church pews, chair backs and other small ledges to make your tripod more versatile. You can pick up the washers in any hardware store for about $2. I was able to use my tripod in most churches and museums.Thanks for all of the advice. I'm going to try this lot.
Perhaps the tripod is unnecessary but I'll carry it for a while and see.
i am planning to take the same camera, canon g7x m2. let us know how it goes! buen caminoI will use a Canon G7x and will use a mini-tripod from Rollei (very lightweight) and a spare battery and a dozen SD-Cards (160GB in total). The Carger is a Ultra-Mini-Charger from ebay, so it will be possible to charge a battery while the Camera is in use. The Camera will sit on the shoulder-strap of my backpack in a LowePro case using a Velcro-Strap.
Buen Camino!

Glad it worked for you, Mate! I'd also mention that the mounting plate that I used for the Peak Design clip also worked in my Gorillipod tripod so even though the vast majority of the time my camera was on my shoulder strap ready for fast action, when I pulled out my tripod I could secure the camera on it in seconds and the nature of the Gorillipod meant I could attach it to trees, sign posts, fences, etc for very nice 'selfies'!Peak Design mounting clip for the camera.
