Was going to work one day and the local Party City was ablaze. Incredibly, it's across the parking lot from our local camera business and not one employee came out to take pictures. I decided then and there to get a small camera to complement my Nikon D7000. So, I bought an Olympus OMD E-M5 and haven't seen a fire since. But I do love that little Oly.
Check out the u43 forum for your research. BTW, you can use your Nikon lenses with an inexpensive adapter. I do.

Thanks for Web link. That man knows how to take beautiful color photos. I'd like to know his post processing technique.
He knows how to take beautiful pictures because he's one of the top pros in the country.
Barkeypf, here's my testimony... I have a Nikon D7000 with several lenses. Great camera. However, I needed something for everyday briefcase carry, did the research, and got the Olympus OMD E-M5. I've enjoyed it so much, have purchased additional lenses and use it almost all the time. When I can get down to Georgia and shoot my grandson playing soccer, I use the Nikon. But for travel, etc, the Oly works for me. Unlike Jerry, I love the EVF. It's simply a fun system to work with.
He looks like William Howard Taft, circa 1913.

Graham, you may have mentioned this in the past, but... Do you shoot RAW, JPEG, both?

It comes with a 14-42mm lens, which is equivalent to 28-84mm in the 35mm film or full-frame world. Their other favorite micro-4/3 lens is 14-150mm. I think that would be its best walk around lens and it's not awfully expensive either. I believe they are having a $50 off sale right now at Olympus actually. If you haven't bought the E-PL3 yet (be aware it is 12MP and discontinued in favor of the newer 16MP E-PL5) you can buy it with the 14-150mm instead of the standard 14-42mm if you buy at the Olympus website store.
Olympus also makes an excellent very flat and small 2X tele-converter that attaches to the front of the 14-42 or 14-150 lenses (only those two) with a bayonet mount to double the focal length. Walk around with the 14-150mm on the camera and the tele-converter in your case and it's soft velvet bag for those special long distance occasions.

And whatever discounts Olympus offers, Adorama and B&H will match.
When are you traveling? If you have some time for research, go to the Olympus and Panasonic sites and see what they offer in lenses. Then, check out the u43 forum. They have a marketplace. You might be able to pick up a used lens for a good price. I went to South Africa in April. Took a 12-50 kit lens, a 17, and 75-300. Those 3 lenses covered all I needed.

Not so good at high ISO compared to the newer models, but in good light, it's a great camera and I still occasionally use mine.
The 17-55 lens is the best DX lens Nikon makes- introduced before they made a full frame camera and every bit as good as the 24-70 is on a full frame.
What's your primary camera?
(I am thinking about selling My D200 and my old 80-200 2.8 to get a mirrorless camera to go with me on vacation.)
Goofy, if you get the right mirrorless, I warn you... you may not want to go back! :-)
Kevin, I suggest you check out the m43 forum. You'll get your answer.
Take a look at the Olympus OMD E-M5. It's a great travel camera. I hardly use my 7000 anymore.

Could be. Either way, it can be aggravating.
RichieC...
My follow-up question might have gotten lost in the midst of your response, so will ask again...
Will this product you mention have any effect upon the glass surface of a viewfinder?
