Olympus OM-4 vs OM-4Ti

[mehguy]

Hello,

I was just wondering what the differences between the OM4 and OM4Ti were, other than the battery drain issue present in the OM4 and the fact that the body is made out of titanium for the 4Ti.

There is a nearly 2x price difference for the 4Ti and I was just wondering if these were the only two things that made up that price difference, or there was more to it.

Any advice is appreciated.

The body isn't titanium, the top and the bottom plate are titanium in the OM-4Ti. In addition to the different main circuit, the body in the Ti has improved resistance to water entry. And the OM-4Ti supports super FP (Full Sync) flash with the Olympus F280 flash unit, allowing for flash sync at all shutter speeds up to 1/2000s, whereas the OM-4 is limited to 1/60s.

FWIW, the OM4Ti is badged as OM4T in most of the world - but they are one and the same cameras.

Wow, I'm not sure if I had heard about the flash sync feature. That's impressive!
