Totally subjective opinion. DSLR, Mirrorless, MILC, smartphone - all have a niche where they play best. Besides, your Mamiya 645 is a medium format DSLR, why do you still have it if it is outdated? Don't have the courage of your convictions?
Nostalgia.
My mom was a wedding photographer and used one. Also it allows me to dabble with velvia 50 something which no digital camera can do. Two different beasts...medium format slide film and a dslr.

I was just refering to the fact that the T5i was heavier and that it was odd that it would feel lighter than the T1i.
Ergonomics could account for it.

I was in Target the other day and picked up a Canon T5i and I was immediately surprised at how light and cheap feeling it was compared to the first of the series, the T1i. I know the Rebels are entry level, but must they be made so unappealing? Do you have any thoughts about the current state of DSLRs and what the future may be for them?
This is the future. Sorry...

The Fuji X series does have a setting for Velvia manipulation.

Setting vs the real thing...I'll take the real thing.

And go the way of Dodo or Kodachrome.

My SX50 is extremely light compared to my 7D Mark II, and I like it! It is very easy to carry around when I don't want to be burdened with a heavy DSLR.

Same with me, my wife's Pana/Lumix FZ28 when she's not using it and I want to travel light. Super good little camera with a Leica lens. I leave my lenses and Nikon DSLR at home.

Something magical that digital can't "replicate or copy in a setting". I don't use it as much as I should.

The increase in size and weight is due to the addition of the flip screen on the back, other than that they are just alike.
It seems the 60 gram difference is a lot more than a flip screen.

If the image quality is the same I'd say ligher is always better. That's what makes bridge cameras so attractive to many even if they do give up resolution and image quality. With a bridge camera you can handhold a shot of a bird with one hand at 720mm focal length and get a good image. Try that with a dslr and a 600mm lens. Sure the dslr with the 600mm lens and tripod will get the better image, but for most people that's too much equipment to lug around and use, and it won't be available when the random shot shows up for a second or two.

Actually all things being the same, bigger is more stable because inertia makes it so.
