Question one:  What is the difference in the value of the two cameras?

Lots if you mean price, or you think a mechanical shutter is important, and will not miss the self timer. Switching your OM4Ti to manual will make it indistinguishable from an OM3Ti except the shutter will not work without a battery. Of course the meter will not work without a battery with either one and I find I am not much interested in guessing exposure anymore. I am not in sunny 16 conditions all the time. On the other hand I hand, I have never had batteries fail when I did not have spares. So manual shutter is not important to me. Electronic shutters are generally more accurate.


Question two:  All things considered, why is the OM-3Ti supposedly worth
more than the OM-4Ti?

Rarity.


Question three:  Assuming a fellow already has a perfectly good OM-3, is it
worth giving up a OM-4Ti to get an OM-3Ti?

Using the FP flash, and bragging about the titanium underneath as the paint flakes off.


Question four:  Will any opinions expressed in response to these questions
have any bearing on my decision?
