Buttons created with the BUTTON element function just like buttons created with the INPUT element, but they offer richer rendering possibilities: the BUTTON element may have content. For example, a BUTTON element that contains an image functions like and may resemble an INPUT element whose type is set to “image”, but the BUTTON element type allows content.

Basically, <button> is more flexible as it can contain other tags inside it. Like,
<button type="submit"><strong>Click</strong> me, <em>user!</em></button> You won't be able to do this with regular <input>.

They are very similar but the <button> tag has a few extras that can be useful on the odd occasion.
