Another vote for the Ricoh GX200. It has a perfectly usable, demountable EVF - if not a great one. Only beefs are noise at higher ISO and lack of Mac/DNG conversion software. I have made a formal approach to Ricoh via the secretary of the Ricoh forum to either provide Mac software or at least give us some icc profiles so we can get good and consistent conversion in C1 etc. ACR converts not too badly but is not exactly big batch friendly. The ergonomics are excellent. They took notice of any criticisms of the controls on GX100 and sorted them - well done! The AF is also much improved from the GX100 and the built in electronic level is a nice feature. With the EVF off, the GX200 becomes shirt pocket size. The optional extra of the clamshell lens cap is an essential.
