Yes, it is heavy, but the 400 already has a heavier body than a little cigerette pack sized camera. Not to use a decent lense on a camera that is not cheap seems to be a little bit of a waste.

@AaronM - I compared a few sigmas and canons side by side and found that the biggest difference was lighting. Did a test outside, on a tripod and just changed out the lense.... and the Sigmas made darker images. Some say the glass in some canon models is the key as well.

I'm no expert - I just use them... but I really tried to get the info on them before buying give the prices. Personally, I decided to stick 100% with Canon... even though they are way more expensive. I paid more... maybe too much... but I never had second thoughts about the quality.
