New Pentax LS1000 and LS1100 P&S cameras in Europe

Pentax has revealed two more new P&S digital cameras in Europe, the LS1100 and LS1000 with a 14mp 1/2.3" sensor, 4X optical zoom (around 28-110mm), 720p video, LiIon battery and other things of P&S nature. The front of the camera have a spartan look, with a promising button arrangement on the back, and a boxy camera frame. Looking good however is usually a bad sign for Pentax P&S cameras if we judge by the trashing of the Optio i-10 in almost every review.
