OP, if seems like your problem is not the body, as the T3 is a very small DSLR, but rather the lenses, as you seem to use more telephoto lenses for range.  That being the case, SL1 is probably not a good choice.  Yes you can use your current lenses on it, but the body itself is not that much smaller than the T3.

Same thing with Fuji.  There will be some space savings there, but not much if you put on telephoto lenses.

I think Micro 4/3 is your best bet.  Micro 4/3 as a system really starts providing some space/ weight reductions due to the smaller lenses.  Panasonic's GM1 and some of the lenses they have made for the GM1 are ridiculously tiny.  And the OMD series with some of the smaller and lighter lenses would be good as well.

I shot with an OMD-EM10 a while ago and am a current owner of the SL1.  As far as IQ is concerned, I saw no dropoffs from the Canon to the OMD.
