Waterproof, Shockproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof (waterproof to 20 feet)
Upgraded face detection detects dogs and cats (just what I've always wanted)
Optical 5x zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle coverage (28-140 on a 35mm film type camera)
Digital Microscope mode for nature observation from 1cm away (has LED macro lights around camera lens)
Remote Control Waterproof O-RC1 (available as an optional accessory) for wireless remote shooting (does not work underwater).
These are a few of my favorites from a long list of features. I'll be checking this one out when they hit the stores in a month or so. It looks like it might actually fit in your pocket.
