[OM] 3Ti and 4ti, was: Wanted: 3ti, LNIB

[Ing. Radovan Faltus]

I hope its not too cruel to 3Ti owners,
  but I see only 3 not big adantages of 3Ti compared with 4Ti:
1) pleasing sound of mechanical shutter control (have a OM1 second body)
2) variable ambient/flashlight ratio in TTL mode (flash with more manual
modes can do the work)
3) all speeds available after batts die (one set of spares is the solution)
But 4Ti has many advantages.

Is mechanical shutter more reliable in low temperatures? I think its myth,
my OM1 didn't have worked in subzero temperatures most probably because of
moisture
condensated on shutter control mechanism. I beleive elmag. shutter control
are not so sensitive. What's opinion of specialists?
