The only thing I am finding is that at 440g it is almost as heavy as the 550D itself.

Yeah, it's not something you would put in your pocket!

hahahaha don't worry about weight.
Once you start buying top end lenses, weight doesn't matter.
50D - 730g
24-70 2.8L - 950g
Do the maths

Much easier to say 'heavy as shit'.

Add to that the battery pack and 430 flash... over 2kg there...

hehehehe. Try having 15-20 on your back of Camera gear!!! Start off with the basics. As pauly said grab your self a twin lens kit and work from there. Learn how to use it first before getting technical with.
