Whoa! $3 for a C35! A button cell battery costs more than that!
The S3 is weird w/shutter priority automatic exposure. So you set the shutter speed you want to use and the needle inside the viewfinder shows what aperture the camera will automatically set to. The lens is a fast f/1.8 & 38mm same as C35 - great for street photo grab shots. It also took mercury cell which is banned for environmental reason. The CdS photocell for metering is right above the lens so you can use ND, polarizer and b&w correction filters and camera reads exposure automatically. I need to find a zinc air battery and take it for a spin.

What! You need to find that person and throw him off your balcony! And take sequential shots of him falling onto the pavement like a ripe tomato.
Well, the C35 took mercury battery and apparently a zinc air hearing aid battery will work fine with the metering - however it won't last as long. I need to find them at a drug store and pull a roll through the old C35.

I think outside of US this was known as Espio Mini & came in black.
Underneath this was basically an Olympus Stylus AF
Old fashioned Zone Focus - I think these were the models for Lomo LC-A
The original Cosina CX-1
The CX-2 w/winder
The Sardine Can - Fujifilm tiara II
The strangely named Konica's Big Mini
Clam Shell designed trio from Olympus - The XA is a rangefinder and the others are Zone Focusing
The old C35
And the S3
