I put the problems I have with my left shoulder down to years of carrying
far too much kit in a large bag. Should have used a vest or a backpack
instead! These days I prefer to travel light (when I can be arsed to leave
the house!) and don't mind compromising some quality for convenience but I
would still like the 350D to be heavier. It's lovely carrying around a
light
body but it does sometimes have it's drawbacks. Some of my old FD lenses
are
heavier than the 350D. Also I only have average size hands but I still
find
the 350D a little small but I can't fault the quality of the results and
all
the controls fall easily to hand. I used to have an OM1 and OM4 so small
bodies shouldn't be a problem but I think years if using larger Canon
bodies
and lenses made of real glass have conditioned me :-)
