Retire the T3? Pulled the trigger on an RX100

[David_Manning]

I'm in Madrid now, doing some travel and street shooting. I'm enjoying the RX100, and its easy to just keep in the palm of a hand.

It's also relatively easy to use most buttons and menus with relatively thin gloves (an issue nobody really talks about).

So, good city winter usability.

Somewhere around here I have a Minox B, but it's so small I can't find it.

David,
put the T3 aside for a while. You will revisit it, enjoy it a lot, and you know I am right. I put mine aside many times, just to get it out again occassionally. All others may go, the T3 will always stay.
I guess that is no surprising statement from me 😉. And...retiring does not necessarily mean selling it, no? 😱

When I bought a Canon S90 some years ago, I still kept and shoot my Contax T camera.

I plan to buy an RX100 in 2013 to replace the S90. But I plan to still shoot them side by side.

Peter,

The T3 is safe (for now🙂 ). If I could get an interchangeable X100, I'd sell it all for that (XE1 doesn't count...need that beautiful OVF).

It was nice not thinking about scanning in the back of my mind during my Madrid shoot.
