Only 140g more than the old one? I wouldn't notice it. By the time you stuck a lens on the proportionate difference in holding weight isn't much.
e.g. with a 100-400L at 1380g, the weight increase over using with a 5D2 is only 6%. And before someone else goes there, at the other extreme, take a 50mm f/1.4 at 290g, that's nearer 13%.

It remains a move against the trend though. The mk III is neither small nor more light weight than the 5D II and the latter is already a brick. I expected something like the 60-600D with a full format sensor.
