I hate to mention this because I have no first hand
experience. But, a great many people swear by the first
Olympus Stylus which had a 35mm f/2.8 lens and autofocus.
And it was (is?) available for about $80 new. Many of the
acounts i have read claimed that it was a wonderful and
cheap take-along and far better than anything else
available. And, at $80 new..........
Regards, Jerry
