That lens is a peach as long as you don't need fast focus, and the camera produces much better results than sensor-size snobbery might lead you to think. Downsizing, rather than downgrading, worked for me.

I made a similar journey (on a much humbler scale) a few years ago, ditching my Nikon D50 for a Panasonic GF1 which I loved. Like you I began to tire of lugging the dslr about and found it too conspicuous. I also didn't want to be associated with a minority of dslr users, long lens permanently...
