The K10D & K20D are only marginally smaller and lighter than the 40D. If small & light is an issue, the new Rebel XSi might be something to look at. No SR, but it gets a much larger viewfinder (95%, .87x pentamirror, noticably larger than the K100D's) and improved grip design, along with a better battery than the XT/XTi.
