There are two new models of note: The TG810 and the SZ30MR. The TG810 is a strong choice for the rough and tumble overlander that is either always dropping their camera or subjecting it to endless environments of snow, sand, extreme heat (leave it on the dash in Morocco?) and a good splash of mud in Guatemala. The SZ30MR is a suitable back-up for a primary DSLR, offering impressive image quality with 1080p HDV recording. This unit will also be useful for the backpack traveler or someone living off of a compact adventure moto.
