Cheers, chaps.

Plus I would much prefer a mirrorless type, like the Lumix G3 or 5, rather than a big SLR. Shame Ricoh/Pentax don't do one.

Au contraire! In changeable lens country there's the K-mount K-01, (now only available second hand in the UK), the Q's, all well respected and highly regarded, and in fixed lens the MX-1 and Ricoh GR.(I'm not ignoring the various compacts from both brands- well I am I suppose:roll
All good cameras. However, the G3 and 5 have both interchangable lenses AND an EVF. Both of which I would want.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

I am getting on fine with the new Pentax X but having difficulty finding a suitable case. There are plenty to see on line but am sceptical whether they will be a good fit i.e. I don't want it too large nor too small as I won't carry anything extra in it. Preferably I'd like to go to a shop and see the case and determine quality etc. Any help in this would be much appreciated.

I ended up with one of these (from Amazon). Pretty small, but big enough to hold the X5 (may need to move the internal divider a bit) and some spare batteries/extra SD card/tube of Polo mints.

Not waterproof and the clips that connect the shoulder strap are plastic, but otherwise seems well made. However, do bear in mind that whenever I recommend something (up to and including retailers) they seem to go downhill fast. It's a gift I have.
