I'm semi-sold on M4/3, it will share time with my weather-wise Pentax gear. Here's what I have picked up in the last few weeks:

  • G7 with 14-42 kit lens (demo from Samy's, stupid cheap)
  • 45-175 lens (30% off weekend at KEH a couple weeks back)
  • Bower 7.5mm fisheye (auction deal/steal)
  • Pana 12-35mm (another auction bargain)

This does not meet your needs precisely but it's close - and I believe it will meet mine  Lens IS since few Panas have it inside, and it's a relatively large M43 body but really light.  It has a large feature set, and I will need a month of reading to pick which of the 40± functions to assign to the many Fn buttons - but when it's done I will have a camera just the way I want it.  The 4k 'video' with 8Mpx stills extraction is a big draw for me, and I might be pulled into video because of it.

And I paid comfortably under $1k for all this.  Before Thanksgiving week the body+lens alone was $800!  And once I sell either the 12-32 vs 14-42II it will go down a bit more - so that's mighty small too
