My wife has a Fuji Finepix S4800 Superzoom which does very well. However, the EVF is difficult use at the long end, the AF is slow & the zoom control is awkward. Not unlike the Pentax XG-1.

I'm even inclined to stop obtaining new lenses and instead invest in a 1 inch superzoom like the Panasonic Lumic DC-FZ1000 or the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 types. This isn't really lightweight but it is saves me a lot of weight in my backpack as well as all the hassle to choose which lenses to take along.
Both macro as well as some telephoto can be done with these compacts.
How much loss in quality compared to my K5 and K-1 this would give I have no idea. But on Flickr I see excellent shots taken with these 1 inch superzooms. The K-1 would surely still be needed for low light theater and more serious landscape.

About the only other option I'd consider would be switching to a 4/3 system. That would certainly be easier to carry (which becomes more important with each birthday), But getting glass as good as my DA*s and FA*s isn't cheap.
