FWIW, a street photographer historically might choose either a 50mm or 35mm lens and shoot with nothing else, Galaxytab.
Now, that was on film, for your K-30 that would be either 35mm or 21mm.
Beyond that, no one can say, because we don't know your preferred subjects or shooting style.

They'll probably end up dealing drugs to pay for the photo equipment. :D

Completely depends. I even use the humble little Q! I shoot lots of jewelry pictures. The detail shots are best done with a smaller format sensor. The Q + macro lens = everything sharp in macro shots. Whilst, on the other, two of my other customers require me to shoot at least 135mm. So I really just use any tool that suits my requirements for the specific job at hand.
Having said the politically correct thing... No matter how often women say that size doesn't matter, there's not a man in the world that would voluntarily downsize, even if those women really meant it. Same goes for sensor format. Using a smaller format camera because it's the right tool at that time only feels good if you have the "pro" available too. If you don't, then you just couldn't afford any better.

Now I totally disagree with this. I simply don't understand the point of a really small sensor + interchangeable lenses. I change lenses for two reasons; different field of view, and for different depth of field characteristics. Unlike in the days of the Auto 110 zoom lenses can now take care of the field of view changes. All they'd have to do is make a camera similar to Panasonic LX5, but with a 2/3's size sensor and a 24-105mm zoom built in. Any sensor smaller than 4/3's is simply too limiting in regards to DOF. They'd have to make faster than f/1 glass to produce decent bokeh...and even then it would still only look like something around f/4 on a full frame camera.
It seems to me there are two camps on these things; those that want a tiny camera to compliment their DSLR; and those like me that want to replace it all together. The first group would be very well served by the fixed lens camera I described above, but the second group needs a large sensor. 4/3's is not ideal, but it is acceptable, especially with a fast prime attached. But if it were up to me I'd say go full frame and put a $2000 price on it. It would be modern day Contax G2.
