Ryan,
The viewfinder was a big reason i went with the Pentax after looking at the Olympus. Also, i don't think the Olympus was waterresistant, which was a factor for me. I remember being impressed at how small the Olympus 410 was, but it was also lacking in a lot of features. ahh - pros and cons

Has your friend looked through an Oly viewfinder? Yeah, that's enough to turn lots of people away. And don't forget the 2x crop factor...
