andrewc should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Canon have three sizes of body

the xxxD and xxxxD range which are quite small.

the xxD and 5D / 7D range which is traditional 35mm sized

and the 1D pro bodies which incorporate a battery grip and are bigger and heavier.

I much prefer the 7D size to the older 350D I had, my hands are bigger and I found it more comforable to use, in the cold, wearing gloves. Trying in the shop is advisable, but take some gloves as a warm shop is different to Snetterton in March.

The Sigma 100-300 EX f4 weighs 1480 grams, the Canon 100-400L is about 100 grams lighter. I tend to use mine with a monopod.
