Not any in particular boriscleto, but I'll check the prices on that suggestion- although as you say, finding a working one...
Originally posted by ChristianRock Pentax P3/P30 cameras seem to be selling for reasonable prices still, though you won't be able to buy one for 12 dollars (like I did) anymore.
I had considered a P30 as they have cropped up (I'm UK based) for reasonable money with lens (about $75 converted, so a big hike from your paid bargain!)
Why not an SLR, really it's the portability as a spare to have on me and use in the rain; I've got my KS-1 which I love for dry conditions, and now a range of vintage lenses- which would work on the old SLR, and a Fuji X10, which is my current everywhere/work camera (I take pics of trees for work purposes). However, neither are weather sealed.
I was eyeing up a Nikanos 5, but can't convince myself to spend the £100+ on it.

Quite a few PC35AF for sale, although prices are firm around £44 for a rough working one, £90-130 for a good one.
Weather sealed would be a big draw for me, possibly above many other features.
