Go to dpreview search engine, look for largest sensor/lightest body and then pick your lenses according to your chosen system.

If you don't mind fixed lens, Sony RX1 then. Full Frame / F2.0

the lower focus length and wider, the lens will get bigger and heavier. if you want light weight not much choice, 35mm should be cheap and light. the sony 35mm lens is light. or go for sony rx100, but cannot change lens only. unless you want even lower than 1.8. Got another setup but is manual focus and the lens is not cheap

I dont need cheap o HAHAHAHA


I shortlist Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 m4/3

My personal experience:

20 F1.7
- sharp, pancake, nice DOF, decent price but AF is average

45 F1.8
- sharp, fast AF, v.good DOF, decent price but prefer wider FL

17 F1.8
- not the best prime but good balance between price / sharpness/ AF / FL / DOF

If I have $$$, would probably get 15 F1.7 instead... =:p

I prefer standard wide FL pancake to keep the size and weight down. There are actually a lot more. m43 has a healthy selection of lens especially if you don't require AF.

Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95
Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm F0.95
Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm F0.95

My current travel kit is GX7 + 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 & 17mm f1.8
