Thanks. The interior shots are very nice at that high ISO.

BTW, I have the D300 & recently the D7100. I love both of them, but I'm looking for something that I can take traveling without excessive luggage, worry, and weight.

Like you I'm a long-term Nikon DSLR user, but, for certain situations, much like those you are describing, I have gravitated to the Fuji X-Series, in particular the X-T1 and the X-E1/X-E2. Take a look at those models here at the Fuji website .......

This is a simple review which gives a good overview of the X-T1, and your own further research will throw up many praiseworthy reports and reviews.

Here's a good UK user review of the X-T1.......

Usually I have little patience for the intricacies of camera shopping, but must confess I'm rather enjoying this. Thanks

My opinion, you really need to handle the camera before you make a decision. I had a Panasonic GX1(m4/3) for a few months and while I was amazed with the image quality, I just didn't love it. Had to get the auxillary eye-level finder for me to really use it and I personally didn't like the interface. The Panasonic GX7 might have fit the bill for me ( has a built-in evf) but I handled the Fuji and fell in love. I bought a used one for a decent price and the prices have been falling a bit since the X-E2 came out. One thing to think about, lenses for the Fuji are not inexpensive. They cost considerably more than the m4/3 line.
I have a couple of images shot with the Panasonic GX1 if anyone is interested. Nothing great but you could see what ISO 3200 looks like.

Good point. Tough to get stuck with a camera you can't love
