Panasonic TS1 is not that much of a revelation either.
You have to replace all the seals every year and it's not doable by you or free. Image quality is not that great also. Cramming all these pixels in a tiny sensor is not that good aparently, no mtter the brand. The Canon D10 is quite good but it is very very ugly.
Overall the Pentax could be a very good camera (if they had kept the W60 sensor), but it's simply on OK camera. Not bad at all.

So, it's a little cheaper and a little worse than the Panasonic TS1? Am I understanding correctly? It's a shame, because I actually like the design of this more than the TS1.

@itchytooth: Whoa, those sample shots look terrible! Was there sunscreen all over the lens?

No water photos? I'm surprised. I was expecting these photos to be wetter then the front row at a Jonas Brothers concert.

Where on the specs for this camera does it say anything about this being waterproof?

@downbythetracks: I'm almost certain it's not - the "E" would need to be a "W" and it would need to be about twice that price. And look at that lens - not waterproof. Too bad, I was excited for a second.
