Jay,
Yes, the shutter release will frequently jam up.  The Olympus repair
guys used a little lighter fluid to free it up.  Also, it is a leaf
shutter that may need to be CLA'd after this many years.  Also, there is
the XA and XA-2 to consider.

I do see quite a few XA's on ebay - is there any specific concern
regarding
the XA?

No, sad to say, but the Stylus Epic - fixed 35mm f2.8 lens, auto
focus and programmed exposure - is still made and runs a close second.
