So, in the never-ending search for the light body, and being a user of 5DMK2 with Zeiss ZE / NEX 5n/ Fuji X100, I'm considering the Canon 100D, which body is lighter then a X-Pro, for using as a second body for Canon primes (yeah, I'm aware of the difference in lens weight...).
The question is, has anybody here used the 100D with good primes? What about the viewfinder and the image from it's sensor?
Best,

I'd say it's a very good idea, especially in the way you explain your intended use.
Your prerequisites are:
1) have a lot of good, native EF-mount lenses
2) have a 5Dmk2 that you intend to keep
3) need another body, not necessarily the highest end body - but with good image quality
The 100D is a very simple camera body, admittedly with quite a lot of practical limitations in controls and physical sturdiness. But it's almost pocket money, it fits all your lenses without any extra hassle or parts needed, it complements your FF body - AND it has excellent image quality for what it is.
I wouldn't hesitate. If i needed the "extra" to have more physical capabilities like fps, AF in low light, better viewfinder and so on, I'd go for the next logical step up - used 60D's are going into the market at a high rate right now it seems.
