Some you might want to look into. All are probably available for less if you shop around, especially the superceded advanced compacts.
1. Advanced Compacts
Both of these offer a reasonable amount of zoom and puts out images that gets fairly close to a DSLR, but are more portable - and in the case of the Sony, actually pocketable. Both of these are last year's model since the current machines go for around $800.
Smallest, not DSLR quality but very good, near-miraculous for the size: Sony RX100 Mark II
Quite big actually but definitely smaller than a DSLR, DSLR-like handling characteristics and pretty close image quality: Canon G1X
2. Compact interchangeable lens
Offers DSLR-class image quality in a much more compact package, but with the loss of optical viewfinder and easy manual controllability. The Sony has a DSLR sensor so offers better image quality, but is a larger package all around. The Panasonic delivers slightly inferior images but with much better portability, since the lenses are a lot smaller as well - not just the body. Micro 4/3rds also has a very healthy lens ecosystem. The Sony, adequate.
Small: Sony A5000
Smaller: Panasonic DMC-GF6
3. DSLR / DSLR-class
You'd be looking at a DSLR for full manual control over the camera, and to this end because they have more physical controls, bigger batteries and are designed to mount bigger lenses etc - they are bigger. It may not be what you want slung around your neck all the time, but these are probably the best class of cameras to learn 'serious' photography on due to the accessibility of the controls.
The Olympus is actually more of an overgrown compact interchangeable-lens given advanced features & controls - think of it as a mini-DSLR. The T5i is a pretty standard low-intermediate DSLR with all the features you'd normally expect a DSLR to have.
Regular: Canon Rebel T5i
Small: Olympus E-M10
If you never intend to buy / change lenses out quite a lot, categories 2 & 3 will probably be a waste of time.
Hello photographers! I'm looking to complete my travel kit. I currently own a mirrorless micro4/3 Olympus E-M10, the lens that came with it (14-42mm) and i recently got the 25mm f1.8 lens. I would like to bring only 2 lenses with me on my upcoming trip. Obviously i'm bringing the 25mm, but I'm considering replacing the basic one with one of these zoom lenses : either the 14-150mm or the 40-150mm. The 14-150 is more expensive, but also more versatile. But since i already have the 25, I'm thinking maybe i could do fine with the 40-150 even if doesnt start as wide. Any opinions or recommendations?? :) thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! How up-to-date are these links? I've noticed that a lot of the articles I've read even being only a year old lose a lot of accuracy. It seems all these cameras with the provided links to amazon are 500+. The mirrorless link mentioned an Olympus camera and I happened to be looking at these 2 earlier:
E-PL7
OM-D E-M10
Do you know anything about either of these?
What do you think of this Olympus?

With the additional 40-150mm lens it's $598.00.
I said $1000 limit but of course I'd be happy to spend less as I'm about to be in a new country looking for a job.
> Trying not to spend a fortune on a DSLR and lens though.
What I carry is probably not a good option for you then. Olympus E-M1 with two zooms, and the total price of camera gear I carry in the woods is measured in 1000s ...
You can get really awesome results for not much of weight from Panasonic GM1 or GM5 (same idea, but the second one has a viewfinder). Alternatively Sony RX100 is really solid (even the oldest one, which should be pretty cheap now too). If you don't mind it being a bit bigger, Olympus E-M10 w/ kit is a really great deal right now - I'd happily shoot with that (but I have my overkill rig already).
Sony Alpha a6000 ($750) vs Sony DSC-RX100/B ($500) vs Olympus OM-D E-M10 ($550)?
I'm a total noob and looking to get my first decent camera. Mostly just need a camera for when I travel - nothing fancy.
In order of importance: Durability > Ease of use > Portability.
Amazon links: Sony-RX-100, Olympus OM-D E-M10 and Sony a6000
Is the price difference to the a6000 worth it?
E-M10 for $399 is the deal to beat right now. It's more feature packed and smaller in size than D3200/T5 which are entry level/amateur cameras.

Which one of these three should I get? I'm going on a trip to Europe and would like to have a dedicated camera for pictures and ocassional videos.
Canon EOS M3
Sony A6000
Olympus OM-D E-M 10
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G7KS DSLM Mirrorless 4K Camera
> their $500 entry-level DSLR
CAN produce as crisp as a pro DSLR, provided they use prime lens, or know their crappy zoom sweet spot. ( like 5.6/50mm for a 24-70mm )
Sensor size gives you DOF, but a fast prime on a bargain micro 4/3 can achieve the same.
Also, Crisp isn't really that important in a good photography.
