Im gonna take a stab at the weight at about 7-10lbs?Thats with EVERYTHING(camera,lense,battery grip and flash)
The lense is whats so heavy.
It felt like it was 25lbs. lol

I guess Ill get used to it as well over time ,my wrist,shoulders and neck are what hurt the most.

IT was worth the upgrade though. Its such a night and day difference on my old one.I dont have to struggle as much as before
Now if I can just find some English terminology on the dang flash!:p

Your pic reminds me that last night I learned you cant shoot very easily wearing your cap the other way or it gets in the way .. LOL

You will get used to it. I think my set up shown in that pic weighs close to 15 pounds:eek: not counting the spare around my neck, the extra batteries, pack of smokes and a Mt Dew somewhere in my vest:p

Backpack weighs 24 lbs WITH camera and fully loaded.:eek:
HAHA.. I knew that sucka was HEAVY, but I didnt think it was THAT heavy!
Camera with everything on it is about 8.5 lbs.

It sure felt heavier than that!
