So we know then that 4T versions are older than some but not all 4Ti
versions. My perception of the market is that black 4Ti versions are
always valued a little more highly than 4T because they *might* be
newer (even though they might not), and to repreat, we know that a
champagne 4Ti is older because newer versions were simply not made
after the US and world versions united under the 4Ti marque.
If your 4Ti grew up in the US, it probably is newer.
There are differences between what a 4 and 4T/Ti can do (Super FP
flash on 4T/Ti only), and my recollection from the technical guys is
that there were incremental improvements (slightly different circuit
boards?) along the development of the 4/4T/4Ti.
Threre are a small but significant number of 4 bodies out there with the
later circuitry, as a result of repairs, so it is possible to find a
mechanically older 4 that is electronically newer than most 4T(i)s. I
have a couple of them and I know other listees have some too.
