Thanks, Rick. Suggestions appreciated. The K-5 and 16-45 would be my preference. I’ve decided they’re too bulky for as light as I want to travel. Ended up buying a Fuji XQ1, which I got at a reduced price because there’s now an XQ2. It will fit in my pants pocket. And judging from the reviews a capable little camera, too. (I suspect it won’t be my last Fuji.)
