C# declaring an array

Question

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the two arrays?

string[] adminUsers = { "user1", "user2","user3" };
                    VS
var adminUsers = new string[] { "user1", "user2","user3" };

Which is the better way to declare an array?

They are the same. MSDN states "You can also omit the new operator"

As a bonus note, this question and answer is the same for Java, except for var.
