It uses a different sensor and there’s no flash. It’s also incapable of working with the new HDR camera feature being rolled out for the iPhone.

You’ve thrown your shorts into the washing pile and forgotten to remove your iPod from the pocket. Now it’s gone through the washing machine.
You’re not the only one to have done this!
Follow these steps to minimise the damage and get your iPod back up and running:
1.First thing is do nothing! Do not turn your iPod on. Water within the iPod could well cause it to short-circuit, so the longer you can leave it to dry the better.
2.If you have a protective case on your iPod take it off.
3.Place the iPod in the airflow of a fan heater and set the heater temperature to low so that the air is pushed through the iPod. Test the surface temperature of the iPod to make sure it is not too hot! Fan dry for 1 hour.
4.Place the iPod in a container of dry rice and place it in the hot water cupboard for at least 24 hours. The rice absorbs excess water. Remember to not turn your iPod on throughout the drying process.
5.At the end of the drying process switch your iPod on. If you don’t get a response, place it on the charger and then retry.

Another easy and good option is to take a bowl full of grains and immerse the phone into it, this will help in draining of the left over moisture
