A few weeknds ago I held a couple of the SLRs available and found I CAN't comfortably hold any of them....are there any smaller and non plastic body ones coming out by anyone even if it's not Canon or Nikon.

I'm doing research this year so all viewpoints are welcome...

thanks

Natalie,
I went from a lightwieght digital to a very heavy DSLR and found that it took a while to get used to the wieght but it was actually easier to control, even with a lens that wieghs the same as the body. There seems to be much less camera shake.... even when shivering in the the cold.
