Yes I have been using the Olympus C-7070 for color photos, though mine is a lot more compact than that one (no battery grip) and it was not 100 dollars!
I use a flip phone so a dedicated camera is essential if I want to take photos. It actually takes great pictures, shoots fully manual and in raw. It's hard to say why I am so drawn to it, I like the shape, it feels very rugged and the lens is actually really nice. The colors are nicer to me than some new digital cameras, and it's not overly sharp. All that said I shoot about a roll every two weeks of black and white film. I roll my own canisters and process/scan at home. No printing right now because I don't have a darkroom. I shoot with a leica m4 or nikon f2 mostly but on the bike I often take an Olympus XA2.
