B&H has a web page that compares all Canon cameras. You may find this helpful.

I tried my A2 with 28-135IS side by side in the store with the Elan 7 and
28-135IS. The Elan 7 body is smaller under the lens (more like the older
F1s and A-1s as if it had no built in winder). Its 7 ounces lighter (205
grams) than the EOS 3 per the B&H Web site.
