I bought into Micro Four Thirds a couple of months ago, with an E-PM2, to complement my Nikon D7000 DSLR (APS-C format).
Then in my last trip overseas, I packed both cameras but wound up selling the DSLR to a local towards the end of the trip, with plans to replace it when getting back to the USA.
Now I'm pondering over this question: What would be the most minimalistic setup that complement's m43's weaknesses as a primary system, but no more?
My first thought is, a Nikon D700 (old full-frame DSLR which is now relatively cheap) with just two lenses: 85mm f/1.8 and 70-300 VR zoom. I am not familiar with other manufacturer's line-ups but would like suggestions.
The idea is to plug the holes of Narrow-DOF and Low-Light Action which are MFT's soft spots, without spending a bundle on this DSLR "second camera" system.
As to the type of photos/usage - I'm an enthusiast who enjoys honing my skills over the full coverage over any type of photographic subject that may come up. I shoot primarily family/travel but I strive to find more challenging situations wherever I can.
Thoughts?

I find the perfect minimal set to be the 17+45. You can substitue the 20 for the 17 if you need more speed at that FL. You can also substitute the 40-150 for the 45 if you need more length.
best!
