Just rethinking this a little bit. Why not get the new Sony RX10
"bridge camera"? 24-200mm equivalent F2.8.
The sensor is just a hair smaller than the 4/3 sensor. The entire
camera is pretty much a total updated knockoff of my 10 year old
Minolta A1.
Given the listed requirements, it's right near the top of my list.
That, and a Fujifilm X100 would be a great little kit.
