In the UK, the Daily Mail newspaper has an accompanying magazine on Saturday. This week's had a camera feature which was in two sections - film and digital. To the paper's credit the film section was given equal space to the digital section.
In the film section there were the usual suspects such as Holga, Dianna and a couple of Lomos. The camera judged 'Best Buy' with a score of 9/10 was the Olympus Trip.
The feature was illustrated with a red covered, refurbished camera from http://www.tripman.co.uk
Also featured with an equal score of 9/10 was a Leica M7! I assume it missed out on the 'Best Buy' award due to its slightly higher price!

I recently bought one from the above eBay seller and have nothing but praise for his customer service and communication. I previously bought one from a local sale but its auto aperture was not working and I couldn't get it to work reliably. I liked the feel and size of the camera though so I ordered one from the seller above. I sent him some of the parts from my first camera to use as spares.
