Hi All
To add my 2 cents, I've dug into most of the popular compact rfs of the 70's 
and was most impressed by the Konica S3.  All auto-shutter priority...but 
brightest viewfinder, small, light and not over engineered (QL 17 G III) or 
confusing to work on (OLY 35 RD).  Has a neat ambient lighting feature that 
works with any flash.  Supposedly the "best" lens of its' length/speed  ever 
tested by Modern Photo (I think I got that misquote right).  Uses the d76 
series battery.  Was made by the same company that made the armored personal 
carrier of SLRs the T series.

Just a thought
