Pentax Optio 60

I'm shopping for a low end P&S digital camera. Am pretty close to going
with a Canon A520, but just ran across the new Pentax Optio 60 and it
looks pretty good from the specs. But I'd like to see pics before I
make a decision, since picture quality is my number one priority.
Anyone know where I can see some? Anybody know of any reviews yet on
this camera? I searched pretty hard but haven't found either of these
for this camera.

Interesting! One of the big "improvements" in the A520 mentioned in the
reviews was they went from 4 AA cells to 2. I wondered if there might
not be battery life issues.
Nonetheless, the A620 is way past my budget and looks larger than what
I want. The camera I asked about was the Pentax Optio 60. Does anyone
have any information on it?
Thanks!
