Hi All,

As a newish member to the list, and a recent 3ti purchaser and
(currently dead) 4t owner,  I would have to say that the difference is
mostly psychological... The 3ti just seems to fit better in my hand,
feel better when put to my eye.  I know it's the same size and shape
etc..., but I just seem to "click" better (pardon the pun) with the
3ti than I ever did with my 4t.

Ok, so it cost a fair bit of cash, but I don't intend to buy another
camera for some time - maybe even pass it down to my kids (if they can
work out what old fangled film stuff is by the time they are old
enough).

Should I have spent the cash on a leica or something current?
probably, but I already had some om  lenses, and I figure that as long
as I can get film, I can keep taking photos with it.

Oh well, just my 2 quids worth.

I'm off to lurk again!

ChrisB.
