Fixed lens:

1) Olympus Stylus 1s....495E

2) Panasonic FZ300....610E*

3) Panasonic TZ71....382E**

4) Sony HX90V...429E**

*cost will probably be prohibitive

**low light photos will not be good?

These are all small sensor and will disappoint in low light/high ISO.
Even the 1" sensor will not really be adequate when coming from the big Canon.

Now regarding the ILC, should I opt for the lenses or the body? If lenses are more important then EPL6 or G5 might be good enough. Regarding the fixed lens, I think the Stylus 1S is the best compromise due to sensor and 2.8 lens.

If language interface and having a built-in flash (as mentioned) are going to be primary concerns this really is going to need serious compromise.
