John -- Raises a question (in my mind at least)  Prolly we.ve been thru this 
but I don't recall.  The
top and bottom plates of the 4T are titanium, as compared to the brass of the 
OM4.  What about the
body?  I've seen a couple of posts indicating that the body is also Ti, but I 
suspect that this may be
in error, and that the only Ti is in the covers.

Also, while I'm on my soapbox (?) -- why can't the improved flash function of 
the 4T be incorporated
into a 4 if one upgrades the pc board.  Obviously, the flash shoe would also 
need to be changed, but
are there other electronic/mechnical problems as well??

Thanks

Craig
