Thanks for your view on this subject
i never knew about the nikon DL, those cameras looked nice. They remind me of the LX100, another camera i would love to have and that i cant found around here. The GX line, even rarer. If i have to have the kind of hassle that is importing expensive electronics here, i'd rather spend a little more and travel to get one myself (it probably will be almost the same value spent in the end, but i got to travel so win-win).
Anyway, i like that idea of having a small camera with me, and the big one for planned photoshoots. For that i might abuse my SO 5Dmk3, as im sure she will be abusing any small camera i might carry.
I can't see myself with a 18-150 though, i had the 18-135 on my t3i and very often would use primes instead, hated the 18-135mm size, and small aperture. I probably used an 85mm 80% of the time, and 40mmf2.8 for the remainder 20%. But thinking in being practical, sure, the 18-150 would cover almost anything one would be using the camera for day-to-day shooting. Would miss on bokeh and portability though.
Thinking about it all, i think all i really want is get rid of phone photography, but without having to carry the weight of a DSLR. For instance, tried my SO Ultra S22 yesterday for simple moon shots and got so disappointed..

The M footprint with EF-M lenses, is completely different than Rebel + EF-S. An M6II + 18-150 is like half the bulk and weight of say even a small SL2+18-135, for example.

Both the M6II and PowerShot G5x II are tiny compared to a rebel + EF-S glass.
