Hi, the rope has always two ends :) I wouldn't say this camera is hoplessly outdated and useless even now, when I have had K10D for more than a year. It's a great travel camera, there's no need to worry about weather or humidity. I love a sea and boating, so I need something raher small and waterproof. 4MPix is pretty much the higher limit for zoom optics combined with those tiny sensors. I have tested and reviewed nearly 100 compact cameras last years and always made a comparision shots with 43WR. Yes, there have been some cameras with better picture quality and some with more functionality, but I haven't found any that suits my needs better. I am absolutely ready to get a new compact, but the big question is - which model? I really do hope Pentax introduces new waterproof Optio in very near future.
