If you are really interested in lightening your load ... try out the Panasonic DMC-FZ1000.
From Macro to 25mm-400mm (35mm equiv) ... all in one neat package under a kilo. It\'s not gonna win any mega-iso pixel peeping battles, but I just finished a trip through the Badlands, Black Hills, Yellowstone & Tetons with it ... never once pulled out my FF. Too easy to run & gun at all there was to see, never once thinking, darn I walked all the way out here and didn\'t bring the right lens or darn I walked all the way up here and didn\'t need all this gear. Pretty sweet setup really ... but it will go so far under the radar that it will be ignored by the vast majority of folks.
Even with the Fuji, you gotta carry multiple glass (I returned my Fuji & Touits) to get the versatility. Battery life is a little short, but spares are small to carry.
If smaller / lighter is really your game ... can\'t say enough good @ the Panny. Sure, it is bulkier on spec than the Fuji body ... but that includes the lens that eq\'s @ 400/4.0 ... all for under a thousand grams and under a thousand $$$.
Will be very interested to see its upcoming counterpart with faster glass/shorter zoom in the LX100. I can see these two as a veritable 1-2 punch for those who are interested in small/light ... and self-contained.
