...and the T3 "Super"? Is it that the "T3" doesn't have the waist-level finder "NA Scope" and the "Super" does? Thanks.

I'm about 90% sure that is the differance. I could be wrong.

I really appreciate that Dennis. However, what I'm tryna figure out is if the T3 (sans the "Super") had the "NA Scope" (a built-in waste-level finder) or not. There was the "T3", the "T3 Super" and the "T3 Super D". I know the "D" has a date function. I don't know if the vanilla "T3" came with or without the scope...
Thanks, though, just the same. Really appreciate your taking the time and the trouble.

Don't know. Do know that my T4 Super has the waist-level viewfinder. Try and google a pic of both T3 and T3 Super and if you can see the top plate, you'll know.
By the way, if either of these has the same lens as my T4 Super (Carl Zeiss Tessar 35/3.5), don't let it out of your sight.

I have both the t3 and t4 and actually other than the size differance (the t4 is quite a bit smaller) I definetly prefer the t3 with it's 35mm 2.8 lens.

Shucks. Why didn't they put the faster lens in the T4 Super?

I often wonder that then again from what I've heard, as I havn't used or owned one, the t3 is better then the t4

A P&S with waist-level-finder! now that's something you don't hear about everyday 
I looked for the image of the camera, and the viewfinder is tiny, how can you use it at waist-level?

Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's quite usable for framing, and of course the autofocus-auto-everything does the rest. Optically, it seems set up for viewing from an in-lap position, or perhaps waist level when standing.
Very nice if you want to be clandestine. Looks as if you're just fiddling with a camera in your lap, rather than holding a digital point-and-shoot aloft, which is much more obvious.

That's what I thought when I bought a T3 Super new ages ago. However, it is really tiny. I don't seem to ever use it. And no, there's no way you can use it at waist-level. More like chin-level.shadowfox said:A P&S with waist-level-finder! now that's something you don't hear about everyday

A nifty little camera, though.

Bought the first T back in 84, lasted till 96, fixed by Yashica, then the flash won't go down. Then I bought T4D Super.
Capable, responsive, but overrated little camera, the 35/3.5 Zeiss is ok.
Never find the waist level finder useful, it's a small p & s, like that 'dirty-old-man', the one and only living Japanese National treasure Araki, I don't even point...just shoot!
