Just look for a Publix, there's an Eckerd's next to the Chinese restaurant.

Yeah, I guess that's true. There's a lot of online auction hype pricing for anything that shoots film anymore.

I think those are hype/fad prices on eBay. These types of Olympus cameras are pretty "meh" (no offense). There are other models in this similar model range that have things like zoom, manual focus, and external flash, but they're just largely meant to be pretty generalized family point and shoot cameras.

If you're looking for something with some personality that shoots 35mm, look for the Olympus Range Finder models, or maybe a Yashica. You'll get some really interesting shots with those over these PnS ones.
