If the LCD in a 4Ti dies does that render the rest of the camera
inoperable or do you foresee other circuit related degradations which will
kill them?
I mean if an OM3 can function without it's viewfinder display I see no
reason why a 4TI can't still function without its, either in manual
mode or on auto.
I reckon I could still use mine if the viewfinder display were on the
blink as I would get a little beep to confirm I had taken a spot reading,
beeps if it was going to be over-exposed.
I remember when I flew gliders one of the little fun exercises was to
complete a flight with all instruments covered. Using a viewfinder
display-less 4Ti should pose few difficulties.
