A compact just won't cut it for my studies a'd as far as I know compacts don't have interchangeable lenses.
not-
If you would describe what you need and what your budget is one could give you concrete suggestions..

Regards the size thing ... if it doesn't fit in a bag or jacket pocket (neither an fuji xpro nor a dslr will) then what matters to most is how easy it is to carry rather than size. Buy a new strap?
If you buy fuji you'll need to budget a fair bit for lenses or set about adapting old ones.
There is something to be said for buying Nikon, Canon or Pentax when there are so many good mf lenses out there. A decent old macro on a aps-c body is killer for photographing printed matter (stationery, books etc) and cheap. You might want something that can shoot tethered.

Panasonic GM5 is quite tiny, has a viewfinder and micro 4/3 so lenses are plenty and cheap!

Get a Sony nex6, A6000, A6300.
I have a nex6 paired with a 20mm f2.8 pancake for snapshots and love it. (also fits nice in jersey pocket)

I see.
Would suggest you have a look / hands on different compacts then - you can basically shoot all of these in manual modes, it is a different experience compared to a DSLR though (focusing etc.)
