I'd recommend looking into the Fuji X-Pro1 or XE1

Basically fell in love the the X-Pro 1 after using a friends for the day. Have owned one for a month now and my D800 has barely got a look in. It's normally with me if I'm leaving the house where as the D800 I'd have to have the mentality of 'I'm going out to take photos'

I'd been waiting for the D600 but when the price was announced and it was only £200 more for the D800 I went for that. It's an amazing camera but its overkill for what I need 90% of the time and the size started to bother me after lugging it around on a few weekend trips. It's probably going to be going on ebay soon enough or traded down for a D600 which seems a more manageable size.

The only major downside to the X-Pro1 is slow AF if you're used to snappy DSLR's. High-iso is surprisingly good and the two lens I have are great 35mm/f1.4 and 18mm/f2 (was lucky enough to get the free second lens offer during Oct)
