Snap
The best camera is the one you have with you... Or in other words, it is foolishness to invest in a shed load of pro-grade camera equipment if the result is too heavy to carry. No matter how good the lens quality, how weatherproof the camera body, if you left it at home you can't snap the moment.
This is a growing sector of the camera market. Manufacturers try to make compact but excellent cameras that an enthusiast would be happy to use, and would no doubt be happy to pay a premium price for...
This picture was snapped years ago with (I think) a nasty little Fuji 2800, my first digital camera. The current candidates for the quality compact must be the Fuji X100, the Olympus XZ1 and one of the new Olympus Pen cameras.

Nasty camera? This looks a fine image! Absolutely agree with your contention regarding excess weight. Some guys carry a rucksack full! Erm, no thanks. I'd add the Lumix Lx5 to your list, although I don't have one, many do and they swear by its quality.
