My first "proper" camera...

Re: My first "proper" camera...

Relative to my 4/3rds Olympus E-510 I didn't find the Canon T2i (550D) camera heavy at all. In fact to my surprise they were nearly the same weight (when I checked the specs).  Remember also that the Canon T2i (550D) camera was manufactured about four and a half (4-1/2) to six (6) years ago, so if you were thinking about what you have now and using that for comparison, then that's not really a fair review.  Perhaps is that why your review is so much different than what Dpreview provided?

Did you struggle with a DSLR camera?  For some people, a simple P&S camera is better.

I'm using three Canon T2i/T3i (550D/600D) cameras.  Some day I'll upgrade but meanwhile I still like what I get with them.  Here's one of hundreds of photos from yesterday with a kit lens.  It's a straight out-of-the-camera JPEG with minimal post processing.  Yes, we could do better shooting RAW or using a more expensive high quality lens, but it's good enough for me.
