My OM-4 died on me after some (not too strenuous use) in a steamy
Peruvian jungle.
I assume some condensation got to the guts of it and shorted a circuit
board or something
(I did step on and off a couple of planes, jumping between a jungle and
high altitude)
It didn't completely die; the auto exposure just went haywire (~1-2 stop
overexposure)
and I had to spend the rest of my holiday without aperture priority. No
great loss, really.
I didn't get around to fixing the camera until about six months after I
returned.
Oh; and the fix was a circuit replacement (ouch!$ about AU$450 here in Oz
with a service).
