Steve,
here is the list
1)HSS flash capability
2)backlit for LCD display in the back of the camera.
3)LCD display in the back of the camera have more information on it
4)frame counter on top next to shutter speed selector
5)lighter in weight (leica claims)
6)use new Metz adapter for metz flash (adapter 3503 as my memory serve me 
well)
