Hi tita from the UK,

It seems to me that, although you'd like a "mirrorless" camera your knowledge about the different camera systems currently available may well be holding you back.

Take your time and learn !

Otherwise you can easily fall into the trap of being influenced by what others buy "for themselves" !

Do your own research and decide what you want and then come back here with questions about your own 2 or 3 options.

Here's a great (unbiased) place to learn .........

Hi tita, I have on Olympus EPL-5 with a 14-42mm zoom lens.
It is very compact and weighs only 20oz. I do have a 19mm prime lens which makes the camera even more compact.
The image quality is excellent and it cost me £325 pounds.
There is also the OM series which are more expensive but are also excellent cameras.
Have a look at them,
John.

Yes, I'd highly recommend the Fuji. Simple to use with the same size sensor as the CMOS which is bigger than the micro 4/3rds. Also excellent lenses.

Fujifilm X-E2 with 18-55mm "kit" lens. The lens has outstanding optics. This combo has become my go-to walkaround lens of late.

"CMOS" is a sensor technology, not a sensor size. Perhaps you meant APS-C?

Yes, thank you.

I want a mirrorless camera but I don't want to carry around lenses. I want it all in one package. Every time I read about these mirrorless cameras they all talk about different lenses you can buy.

I also want to buy the best and sharpest one. Yes $$$ is important but not only factor.

I've looked at so many and read so many reviews that my head is swimming. I help help.

Thank friends

I am really liking what I see in the Canon Powershot G1 mkII - for a high quality bridge camera - go here - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-powershot-g1-x-mark-ii/ for a goood review,
Otherwise, you really have to look to SONY for the widest mirrorless selection and features - but not necessarily lenses !
