also, on a separate note, dpreview needs a new description for "body-type" on it's specifications section. Calling the X100 or X20 a "rangefinder-type" body is acceptable because even though there is no rangefinder mechanism, you are still looking through a viewfinder located at top left in a rectangular body. But this camera that has NO viewfinder should NOT be called that.

But it'll be interesting to see the extent to which that pop-up flash also complies with the 2m drop-ability; I'm quite sure it won't be worth much if you drop the camera with the flash extended, and that would probably be the end of the flash' waterproofing, too...Looking at the pop-up flash, I can't help but think this has to be an Achilles Heel (pardon the mixed metaphors for waterproof-ness. Nice to see something beyond the usual ...Mark 781 thinking tho.
