I'm a fan of mirrorless ~~SLR~~ cameras. Todays mirrorless cameras are very light and compact, so you'd only have to worry about the weight of the lens. Personally, I've never shot with film so I can't say if it's comparable, but my Sony a6000 is lighter than any film camera I've held. There's also a good chance you can get an adapter for the new camera to be able to use the nikon lenses on it.
If you do want a fixed lens, you may want to look into bridge or ultra-zoom cameras. They will be heavier, but have the ability to zoom to telephoto focal lengths which would be better for wildlife photography.
thank you very much!
