After years of lugging my extraordinarily great - and way too heavy - Pentax DSLR + lenses around, I gave them all up for some relatively small and relatively lightweight micro four-thirds cameras. I currently have two - a Panasonic Lumix GX7 and an older, smaller but quite fine Lumix GX1 - and an assortment of prime and zoom lenses. Also it would be criminal not to mention my almost-pocketable serious compact, a Lumix LX7 with an incredibly fast wide-angle zoom lens designed by Leica - a tiny gem of a camera which, in spite of the diminutive size of its sensor, produces remarkable images. And, yes, on occasion I'm guilty of using my iPhone as a camera as well, with two excellent photo apps - Hipstamatic and Mattebox - as well as the standard Camera App.
But as everyone knows, the best camera, really.....is the one you have with you.
