I also liked the A1. It handled well and had more than enough useful
features to keep me happy. It wasn't particularly heavy (say compared to
an
F1 or a house brick) but it was nicely balanced and felt solid, unlike
some
of the current dSLRs. My EOS350D always feels too light even after three
years of use and I find it difficult to hold steady with long non IS
lenses
attached. Can't comment on the T90 because I've never used one but it
always
looked a bit plasticy to me although I'm sure it was a good camera.
