I own a Pentax IQ 928. I love it except for two gripes; it lacks a
flash output reduction at close focus distances (which for instance
the Minolta FZE 28-70 has) and so it tends to burn-out subjects close-
up. Note that this is a real problem as you would probably always
have ISO 400 or so film in it (to offset the lens speed). The other
thing is the lack of an auto speed below 1/3 sec. It has an
absolutely fantastic control layout and is beautifully built. I
recently used my Aunt's 928M. I was absolutely amazed by the size
(same as my Yashica T-4) as well as how absolutely QUIET it's
operation is (compared to anything P&S I have ever used). Though a
stop slower, and it has a Passive rather than Active AF, it retains
the great control layout and has a great size so I would suggest you
look at it. (It also has auto speeds down to ~3 sec). I have seen the
Rollei and it has the most confusing controls and is pretty large.
You should also consider the Oly Stylus 80W (28-80) which is also
weatherproof and has spot metering and the just released Canon Z90W,
which should also be great.

From the picture, it appears to have a white AF assist beam in place
of the excellent near-IR beam on the 5 and 50. If that is so, it is a
step backwards. If there are 4 buttons on the back (a la Nikon F100,
F5) then I hope it still has the rear command dial?
