Since you seem to like small...

I would suggest the E-M10 with 14-42EZ. I do not have that combination but I frequently use the E-M5 with the Panasonic 14-42X (the Oly 14-42EZ was not yet in sight at the time I got the 14-42X). It makes for a light and small combination and the sample images I have seen are pretty good. (The images I'm getting with the 14-42X are also pretty good, bar the occasional purple fringing that comes from it being a Panasonic lens used on an Olympus body.)

Freemod makes the automatic X-Cap (cheaper than Olympus' automatic cap) and with such a cap the camera-lens combo becomes a point and shoot to the extent that you don't need to constantly try to not lose the lens cap.

The only problem is that when you get addicted to small you will not like the size and weight of the high quality lenses like the Oly 12-40 or that of telefocus lenses like the Oy 75-300 and Pana 100-300.
