Dave look into the Micro 4/3 camera. They have a bunch of benefits like the SLR with lens interchangeability. Most are mirrorless and more compact too.
You are also not that bad a shot behind the camera. The Olympus PEN and E-M series are the front runners here.

+1

Love my Panasonic GX1, pretty compact, great for traveling... not a pain in the ass to carry around like a big clunky DSLR.

+1 to this. I have a big full frame DSLR, takes beautiful photos thats for sure, but its bloody heavy and big... Hence why I am selling it and have bought a Micro 4/3 camera to replace it. I have a Olympus OMD EM-1. Weather sealed with either a 12-40 or 12-50 kit lense. With an ultrawide lense (9-18), 12-50 lense that I got with it, and the body, it takes up less room and weighs less that my full frame body on its own... I think it takes as good, if not better photos that my full frame camera (i'll put some up at some stage if I remember). I am going to get a 40-150 zoom lense for it, apparently it is a great lense with image quality well above its price. The Olympus PEN series would be well worth looking at as well as they are significantly cheaper than the one I purchased. I was looking for the weather sealing and to replace a full frame camera so coughed up for the EM-1...
