http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_pentaxw90.jpgThe W90 is Pentax's solid successor to the W80 (http://gizmodo.com/5336015/pentax-w80-camera-review-waterproof-and-now-slightly-ruggedized). It's got a new strap, LEDs around the lens for close illumination and is slightly more resistant, rated to 20 feet of water and 4 foot drops.
The new case is nicer than the old, and the innards seem pretty similar to the older model (which I liked). There's the 12mp sensor, 720p video recording and digital shake reduction as well as a 5x 28-140mm equivalent lens. I liked the old one, so I'll probably like the new one. (Although perhaps not quite as much as I like the new rugged Lumix TS2.)
