Very thin, a great lens that's well protected when the camera is closed, and a flash mode switch that stays where you put it until you decide to move it again - a very big deal in my book. I also like the idea of the countdown film counter - not that I would EVER open a camera back when there's film in it, oh no not ME - but just in case I ever DID a thing like that I appreciate the fact that with the Ricoh I'd only lose about the last frame I took, with the others being safely rewound into the cassette. If you can get one in hand, I'd recommend playing with it for a while. I'd bet you'll like it.
