I don't like big heavy cameras either, but you can't blame that on  
digital. The digital only lenses are smaller than the film SLR lenses  
and the cameras are little if any different to equivalent film SLRs.  
It is SLR cameras which are - mostly - big and heavy, not digital. I  
hated the size and weight SLRs before digital was invented.
