Thanks, Moose. I thought that you might come up with a different plan; I have
considered a µ43 body, but I don’t fancy another line of lenses.
I don’t think that I’ll buy another 1/2.3” sensor model; I’ll stick with my XQ2
until I find my ideal replacement – I forgot to mention that I’d like to be
able to put the camera into a pocket.
