Thanks to “khaz” who provided the link, and gave some interesting information gleaned from the user guide about the Pentax W60:

  1. Green button is (again) assignable
  2. Lots of user control over the range for auto ISO
  3. Can recover deleted photos
  4. Some user control of sharpness, contrast, saturation
  5. Interval mode
  6. Live histogram
  7. Potentially useful continuous AF mode
  8. Manual WB
  9. Spot metering and spot focus options
  10. Can enable or disable optical zoom in movie mode
  11. Can be used as an alarm clock

I have to say, after reading the analysis by Khaz, that the W60 seems to be quite feature-laden for such a compact camera.
