Help! What Digital Camera Would You Recommend?

I'm a bit late seeing this so before I pitch in I'll ask if you've decided on something yet?

I started off with a Canon EOS450D in 2007, and it was perfect as a beginner. Easy to understand, light weight etc. When I wanted to take the next step I got new lenses, and just by doing that it was like getting a whole new camera. I recently bought a 60D that I enjoy, but I would really recommend to start with anything in the 600-650D series. And get an extra lens. I love this one: http://www.fotosidan.se/reviews/viewreviews.htm?ID=435

I recently bought a Nikon D3200 with two objectives 18-55/3,5-5,6 VR + 55-200/4,0-5,6 VR. It cost me around 6000 sek and that was about as much as my wallet allowed me to spend on a decent camera without imploding. The good parts with the D3200 is that its a beginners camera as well as a kinda ok for intermediate users.

It got guides to help you use the camera, giving some tips on what settings you should change when taking different types of photos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLcqFcLkD9w . And it got the manual modes for those who like to set it all manual or partly manually. I really liked having two objectives to experiment but if I would buy it today I probably would try to find one without a zoom for taking those close pictures and forcing me to move instead of using the zoom option =)

Last it got a WIFI module you can attach to it as well as allowing it to be operated by distance by using a Android phone (yeah i know you use an iPhone).

You didn't answer the most important question:

Be honest to yourself; how big can a camera be and you'd still bring it with you all the time?

You might find that your average DSLR is a bit to big, and a camera carried is a camera which will get the shot. I for one love my prosumer Nikon and I carry it with me quite often, but it's just a tad to big to be grabbed and put in a pocked on my way out.

So question is; DSLR or smaller mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera

If you're anything like me. I'd take a look at Leica X2, Fujifilm X100 and Fujifilm X-Pro 1

As for wifi. Pop that card into your SD reader on your Mac, doesn't get much easier or faster (But take a look at http://www.eye.fi/ if you want wifi).
