My solution? Sometimes I will actually carry two cameras. So much for the small m43 convenience factor, but it is still lighter than DSLR.

Mark, I'd be interested in hearing more about this. I've been thinking about what gear I'm taking on a 2-1/2 week European family vacation the summer, and will likely take two cameras. I'd been thinking about the E-M1 with my 12-40/2.8 (though I'd like wider) and my Stylus 1, with a couple of primes thrown in the bag. But as I've been looking at my Stylus 1 images over the past year, the more I'm thinking about swapping that out for a smaller m43 with the new 14-150, especially given the running $200 package discount.

I bought a refurb Oly 14-150 1st generation last year, but was never really satisfied with the results and sold it for what I paid for it. I'd been hoping that the new version would improve sharpness, so I've been trying to keep an eye on upcoming reviews and user reports. So fr, people seem to enjoy it.

I carry the EMI with a 12-40mm Pro.... And an EM5 with the 14-150mm... I also bring the 9-18mm and 75-300mm and oh so many batteries.
