Yeah, but equally as amazed by the 'sliding lens elements' design I
think - kudos to Pentax here.  I just wonder if this will cause
reliability problems?

Yes, that's really great. Is this a technology that Pentax was able to  
transfer from a SLR lens or is it a complete innovation?

>I just wonder if this will cause reliability problems?

I don't think so. I always thought of my Optio 330RS as tiny and I  
wondered how they managed to built the lens mechanics. But it proofed to  
be very reliable and stable. And now my 330RS even looks like a block  
compared to the new Optio S... =:-)
