Can't see how buying an Olympus Stylus squeaks by one of your main concerns. No Oly uses SD cards! Uses the horrible XD card. Know because I have a Stylus 710. Between it and the Optio 30 would rather have the Optio. It is easier to use (same menus as other Pentax) and takes better quality pics. Only have the Stylus because it was very cheap used. Dad will get the Stylus one day soon.
Considering the W60. Great carry everywhere camera and water proofing good for bicycling. Love the manual control option on it. Can't wait to see one. There is nothing wrong with the Optio 30! Do like the 5X zoom of 60 and the manual control.
thanks
