I have a Pentax W10.  I love the size (not bulky in my pocket) but I
have found that in bright light it is hard to see the mage on the
screen. A peep sight would be nice.  

I have also experienced a lot of pictures with water drops on the lens.
I need to remind myself to check it before I shoot.  Your statement
about the Olympus having an automatic cover sounds good as long as it
doesn't stay open while you're waiting to shoot.  

The cover does sound good in another way however.  I worry that my
Pentax's lens has no cover and thus isn't protected from the abuse it
sees inside my pocket.  Key's coins, etc. share the pocket.

Good luck with the Olympus.  I look forward to hearing more about it in
the future.
