On my last trip to China, I brought along the E-PL1 and my Nikon D80. The reason I had both cameras is because I had just purchased the used E-PL1 right before the trip, so I wasn' familiar how it will perform.
E-PL1 had the kit lens, and for D80, I had 28-105mm, 35mm f1.8, and 50mm f1.8. Both of the 35 and 50mm are fairly light, with their plastic construction, however, the 28-105 is an older styler metal lens, and is quite hefty. To be fair, if I had more lenses for the E-PL1, I would've carried additional lenses with me, and weigh myself down, but it will still be lighter package. I used both equally, and went to the D80 when I needed an extra reach, but carrying the back pack full of camera gear was very tiring. The E-PL1 was such a delight to have around on excursions.

Bonsai!
