Cotty, I had the chance to test this camera and I wrote a review in my friend's technology blog. In Spanish I am afraid: http://www.teknofilo.com/pentax-mx-1/ (contains a full size image gallery)
In short: The camera is very user friendly and I loved the tiltable LCD screen. The retro look is not as well rounded as Fuji's one and the battery life was not among the best. At that time I found the street price a bit high compared to the competitors, but this may have improved. I will be more than happy to answer any question that you may have on or off list, as you prefer.
