The majority of my photos fall into the following categories: street, landscapes, wildlife (if I'm lucky enough to encounter some during my walks), macro and "travel" photography.

Currently I have a Lumix G3 with which I'm exceptionally pleased.

I have a G3 and am also exceptionally pleased. If high ISO (above 1600) is not a requirement, then as long as you are exceptionally pleased, why spend money to upgrade the body?

I could invest in a new lens? For the cost of the upgrade to a better camera, I could get the Olympus 60mm macro lens or Lumix 100-300mm telephoto lens (not to mention a prime wide-angle lens), both lenses would create new possibilities to use my camera.

That seems to be the best way to spend your money! The possibilities for macro, especially!
