My first thoughts are either a OMPC or OM2000 might fit your needs.
But after a bit of research on the SIF site you would't be saving much
in weight.
OM-2(n) - 520g
OM-PC(40)- 460g
OM2000 - 430g
The OM-PC(40) has a metering system that rivals the OM-2n. I know I have
both. The OM2000 has a very good spot metering system but I have strong
doubts as to its durability, especially on the trail. I don't have much
knowledge about P&S's but I have heard very good comments about the
Stylus Epic 35mm f/2.8 and it is considerably lighter than any of the
above bodies.
