I shoot with a 5D3 and a few not-so-light-and-compact lenses, like the 24-70 II, 70-200 IS. I love that system and won't be ditching it anytime soon.
However, there are situations (i.e. travel, outdoor events, etc.) where I'd prefer to have a smaller, more compact camera with me. I've started to research the possibilities, and admittedly it's a bit overwhelming. I've tried a couple of options so far (OMD and X100T), and have liked them both, but I've also had some small issues with each.
I'm hoping I can get some advice/recommendations here. My priorities are:
I am open to a fixed lens camera, and in fact may even welcome it. I love shooting with primes, but have found myself using the zooms a lot with my 5D3 since they're so good, and very flexible. So it's kind of refreshing to have a fixed lens as my carry-around/travel camera, and I wouldn't feel too limited by that.
I should also mention that I mostly take pictures of my kids at this point. I used to do fine art, street, and even a few weddings here and there, but I don't have time for that anymore. This rules out something like the Ricoh GR, because although I'm open to a fixed lens, 35mm is as wide as I'd like to go.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm hoping I can get some advice/recommendations here. My priorities are:
- Image quality
- AF speed
- Viewfinder (EVF is fine, but needs to be very high quality)
- Fast lens
- Sensor size (do not want smaller than 4/3)
