I think my EOS10D is actually lighter than my R8, thought some of the 
lenses are lighter some are heavier. I do find the prints from the 10D, 
printed formerly on an Epson, now a Canon, printer comparable to prints 
from scanned negatives from my R8, maybe a touch worst than scanned 
slides and a touch better than scanned print film. I don't like the 
ergonomics of the Canon nearly as much as the R8 and the R8 viewfinder 
is in another class. OTOH not having to wait for the end of the film is 
a great benefit for amateurs such as myself so I only use film for MF, 
here the prints from scanned negatives are much better than the EOS 10D 
or 35mm Leica scans.
cheers
