If he limits himself to the 14-42 lens, the EPL1 will be quite compact.
Not credit card size, but still very compact and pocketable. Olympus
could probably shrink micro 4/3 even further.

I think it is up to those responding to a question, first to read the
OP's question (which some seem not to have done) and then try to
answer that question, rather than try to impose their own choices and
prejudices.

You, and those who have suggested DSLRs and Micro 4/3, haven't
answered the question that was asked. The question was a clear as
could be.

You might like to consider the Panasonic LX3. It has a larger than
usual sensor for a compact camera and a fast Leica f2.0 lens which
allows better than normal low-light shooting for a compact design.
The downside is a short lens zoom range, only 2.5x but this starts from
24mm giving it a very useful wide-angle capability. Other bonuses
include a RAW mode (also RAW plus JPEG), a 720p video mode and a hotshoe
for an external flash.

I used the Lumix LX3 for a few months and was not particularly
impressed with it. Noise is a problem at all ISOs, not just those
higher than 100.

I think the FujiFilm Finepix F200EXR is probably a better choice for
the OP. It has better noise control than the Lumix LX3, a better zoom
range (albeit not quite as wide at the short end) and it costs much
less. For the OP, there is the significant plus point of a familiar
user interface.

The Lumix LX3 is a good camera but in several areas it just doesn't
measure up against the F200EXR.

THere is no personal bias here as I don't own either camera.
