There are a number of cameras available now which aim to bridge the gap between compacts and DSLRs. Mainly using the M4/3 format, they have the aps-c size sensor, similar to many DSLRs, and interchangeable lenses. The bodies are much smaller although they do lack the optial viewfinder. Worth looking into. Search for Olympus pen but there are other makes. If I was spending cash now I would investigate this type. I like my Sigma dp1s though, despite its limitations (fixed 28mm eqiv lens, not great for low light and slow time between shots). The prime lens, while a limitation, contributes to very high quality images.
