This might be the rugged camera you've been waiting for - BSI sensor, relatively fast lens, HD video with stereo sound, and it doesn't even look like a toy! The previous Olympus rugged cameras were a disappointment for me in terms of image quality, but maybe this one will finally be a worthy upgrade from a Panasonic TS-1.

The one potential problem I see is the 4sec slowest exposure, I hope it's got a longer exposure available as a separate mode.
