The HZ-series is the standout, packing GPS geotagging and a huge 15x optical zoom.
There are five new cameras in total, in three lines. The most interesting ("interesting" being comparative here) is the HZ-series, which features a 12MP sensor, 15x optical zoom, a 24mm wide-angle lens, 3-inch AMOLED (or LCD) screen and in the higher-end model, GPS geotagging. They'll be available in March for an as yet undetermined price.
The other two lines are your bog-standard ultra-thin and budget models, with 12 or 14MP sensors, 720p video recording, 5x optical zoom, and Sammy's image stabilization tech. They are incredibly boring, and will be boringly released in boring February for a boring undetermined price. [Samsung (http://www.samsungcamera.com/)]
