Bought Nex-6...pondering getting PL5 instead...?

2) Correct me if I am wrong but is there anything even remotely akin to a 18-150/200mm focal length in the world of non-ICL compacts? If not that kind of pocketability is out. The defining moments over the last few years that has lead up to this current camera purchase has been me being on vacation and not getting those interesting shots of the top of the Brooklyn Bridge from street level and coming home from Madrid only to see that even in bright sunlight there was considerable noise in the pictures to the extent that two years' worth of photographs are plain uninteresting.
