I don't have a specific suggestion as for what to buy, but I would caution you that a small Pen camera will be very unwieldy to handle with anything larger than about a 20 or 25mm lens on it. They have very small grip and are very light weight, so will be very unbalanced with any substantial lens attached. I made that mistake once.

Most people will reach the point in their lives when they realize that, instead of mounting the lens to the camera, they are mounting the camera to the lens. Astrophotographers deal with this challenge all the time. 8-) 8-) 8-)

For reasons that are not important I got a $1,000 credit at a camera store that I normally do not visit and I would like some suggestions. I just sold all my Nikon equipment (too much weight and space) and got the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark ii and I have 15 mm (Leica/Panasonic), 12-40 Pro, 20mm (Pan), and the 75mm (Oly).

I was thinking of getting an even smaller camera that uses the same lenses like one of the Olympus Pen series (perhaps E-P5 or 7) or the Panasonic GM 5. Or getting another lens but I don't need the telephoto Pro lens (I do mostly street and landscape)...perhaps the 12mm but I have the 15. Or wait a few weeks and get the new Olympus 10 Mark ii (announced this week) but that doesn't seem to add much to my M-5 except another body. The other two are smaller so at least it may serve a different purpose. I also own the very small Leica C camera.

Please feel free to make other suggestions and I thank you in advance.

Forward the credit to me...problem solved.
