Can anyone tell me the difference between the two cameras. Some say the i
stands for a coating on the camera. Is there a difference the electronics.

The OM-4T is the OM-4Ti. They are one and the same, no difference.

The OM-4 (without T or Ti) is different from the T/Ti (no titanium covers,
and, more important, no full FP-flash synch).
There is a second version of the OM-4 that has improved electronics, but the
two were not distinguished by changing their designation.

None that I've heard of. I think these are just marked-variations.

The big improvement came when the OM-4 was discontinued and
the T (Ti) replaced it with much improved electronics. In fact,
the whole circuitboard was replaced with a completely new one.

Which I seem to recall, introduced some changes to a few of its
functions as well.

They are the same camera. The camera was originally given different names for
the North American markets (OM-4T) and the rest of the world (OM-4Ti). At some
point I guess Olympus decided that the sales figures didn't justify the
differentiation, so they are all badged OM-4Ti now.

Hope this helps,

No difference.
