I have a Pentax K7 with 3 lenses. I am thinking of getting a smaller camera like the Nikon P7800 so I don't have to carry around a heavy bag. If Or look for a good lens that I could walk around with anyone out there has any suggestions please advise.

There are a lot of choices out there for advanced point & shoot cameras, just depends how deep your pockets are. As suggested, the Sony RX100 and the Canon s110 are great pocket cameras that have all the settings of a DSLR. The NIKON p7800 and the Canon "G" series are a little bigger that a "pocket camera" but still a lot smaller than a DSLR. One thing for sure, the sensors in these cameras are a little bigger than your average pocket camera and they turn out sharp, detailed photo's. Good luck in your search.

I may be taking a trip to Europe with the family next year. No way am I going to lug around a DSLR and lens/lenses.
It's a lot of money but.....I've been looking at the Fuji X100s. Lots and lots of rave reviews.

So does the RX-100. I love it.
The newest version, Sony RX-100 III has an electronic viewfinder built in. This camera gets excellent reviews.

I recently bought the lumix zs40 ...... It has a great image quality per snapsort and the 30x Leica lens comes in very handy.
I just got back from Northern New Mexico, where I was rarely below 7500 feet. I took the zs40 everywhere, including rock climbing, night events, etc., and I am extremely satisfied with the purchase based on the reasons I bought it.

Canon G1X II as seen here - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-powershot-g1-x-mark-ii/ - be sure and get the optional EVF - not cheap though !

I have the Nikon P7700 and can attest to it's image quality while traveling where the zoom range is a real plus. Not quite pants pocketable it will fit a jacket or vest pocket and I use a Tamrac 5692 case with belt loop at times.

Have you looked at the Sony HX400V? It has everything you could want in an advanced point and shoot, including Panorama, GPS, A 50 X jumbo lens, and easy to handle. Lenore H.

The problem is that the bigger the sensor the bigger the camera and/or the shorter the lens. For example the Sony RX100 III gets very good reviews and it's very small, but it's lens only 24-70 or so.
I find my Nikon P7800 to be a good compromise. It has a very sharp 28-200 f/2-4 lens, a 1/1.7 in sensor, a hot shoe (I have a tiny sb-300 flash that I use for bounce flash), and a decent EVF. It fits in a jacket pocket, the leg pockets of my cargo pants, and a small Pearstone belt case that I got from B&H. It's available refurbished for just under $400. I love mine.
