Here are the participants: Olympus Stylus 3.5 bought for $15 from an RFF acquaintance, near-mint condition, Nikon One Touch 35/2.8 bought for $2.98 from a thrift store in very good shape. Fuji 200 film, drugstore development, my scans on Epson 4490.

What say y'all?
 
Well, I much like the ergos of the OS. It is smaller, lighter, slicker.
The OT is heavier, which I think counters camera shake, AND it takes AA batteries, which are sold anywhere.
 
Paul,
Despite being an Olympus fan (big one), I never owned the legendary OS (I like your abbreviation, Rick :) ).

Instead I was able to get the waterproof version of the OT which is slightly bigger and have bigger controls (nice) as well as being the camera to use in a drizzle or even around the swimming pool.

I shot one roll only in daylight condition, so far I haven't seen anything extra-special, just what you'd expect from a decent 35mm lens.
