so the phantom (XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6) is finally here ...

To make the assumption even more comical:

Register distance is NOT everything, only with wide angle lenses.

 

Like I said, the weight difference is not overly dramatic. Sure, you can make combinations especially designed to make it look like the difference is huge. For instance, You can compare the FF Canon EF 35mm f1.4 L USM II to the Fuji X 35mm f1.4, and the difference indeed is huge.
 

The register distance *is* the thing, BC! Look at the top view (or side view) of the cameras, or their weight.

 

Here is a comparison to the D3300 you mentioned:

You're right, the D3300 is much smaller/lighter than the D90. It's also a consumer camera without some important controls from my perspective. (Might not be from yours, but certainly from mine.) For example, I need to be able to control aperture and exposure compensation directly, in Av mode. And still, the D3300 alone weighs more than my X-A1 + 18mm/2 lens.

 

Yes, I understand that if you're shooting a 300mm/2.8 lens, the difference in weight of these cameras is insignificant. But that's not what most people are shooting. (And I already acknowledged that this 100-400 is too big & heavy for me.) I have a D4 for that sort of shooting -- horses for courses, as they say.
