Just Found My Ideal Street Camera!

I had a T3 for a short while before I succumbed to digital. It had the sharpest lens I have ever seen. But actually using the camera was kind of a pain in the ... It was just too small and very difficult to use it if you were not just pushing the shutter button.

I still don't understand why a full frame lens on digital has to be so big.

I would argue about your superiority statement though unless you are comparing small 35 P&S to small tiny sensor P&S. No way the image quality on a 35mm film frame is going to come close to a full frame digital image.
