Camino uses the Gecko rendering engine. Safari uses a modified Konqueror rendering engine. In general, more websites are compatible with Gecko than the Safari engine.
Basically it has lots of nifty Mac integration and most of Firefox's goodness, but no extension support. However, that and RSS integration are supposed to be forthcoming.

It looks very pretty. Almost makes me want a Mac heh.

Camino = Firefox + OS integration – extension support
Firefox + OS integration – extension support + Acid2 compatibility = Safari
I'm not trying to be rude, but who's the target market for Camino? I mean, it's obviously not me. ;)

The target market is the Mac weenies that crave that brushed metal look.
Just kidding! I love you Mac guys!

I'll head over and take a look, but one of the reasons I use Firefox is because I could bring all my extensions with me to my Mac.
How easy would it be to make Firefox extensions work with Camino?

Wow you guys knocked Camino quite badly. It got a great Webmonkey/Wired review here: http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/06/07/index4a.html
