Just to add a bit of redundancy to the thread, I've got three: one black 4Ti,
one champagne 4Ti, and one black T. There's not a bit of difference, except the
black T is missing a little white i.
I've also got three plain 4s. Except for the inability to sync with the F280
flash at fast shutter speeds, they're as good as the Ts. And, if I might borrow
something Chuck said on another subject, the F280 IMO is about as useful as
tits on a boar hog. The titanium top and bottom might be an advantage if you
plan to drive nails or are really, really clumsy, but otherwise, it's mostly a
gimmick intended to attract techno geeks.
