Well you COULD put a 1200mm f5.6 (it's 32 inches long and weighs over 36 pounds) on a 15 ounce Canon SL1/100D

Not sure where you're going with this question but you're not going to get any more lopsided than that.

Answer 2

Geez! Christopher is yanking your chain. The Canon 1200mm is a $120k lens and takes 18 months to receive such a lens. Something more affordable is the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 and has mounts for Canon and Nikon.

Answer 3

By huge lens, I will assume you mean long telephoto. Long telephoto lenses are not cheap. Your best bet would to get one of the "super zoom" bridge cameras. Here is a comparison from dpreview.
