Need DC Suggestions for trip

AAC

I hate to carry my D300s and lens travelling in foreign countries.  I'm looking for a DC with more manual controlling features and 1080 video.  Canon G12 could be an option but only 720 video solution or no zooming function while in video recording.  Fujifilm X100 is way out of my budget... any suggestion ?  Just wondering what DC used by serious photographers in their leisure time.   
Any suggestion ?

Or shall I consider M 4/3 camera ?  but I know nothing about the picture quality and relibility of these new camera.

Thx.

Thx for all information. I got better idea now.
So,  if I don't go for m4/3 system (don't want to have another set of lens or cheap), Canon G12 is the only option ?
