Panosonic DMC-FZ5 vs. DMC-FZ20K

I'm trying to decide between these two models. The only differences that I see: FZ5 FZ20K ------------- --------------------- 11 elements 13 elements F2.8 to F3.3 F2.8 across the board $$ not being an issue, is the FZ20K the clear winner here? tia Slack, There's a group specially for this type of SLR-like camera over at: news:rec.photo.digital.zlr and you'll find a few discussions about the FZ20 there. I'll copy your question over there and set follow-ups. The FZ5 is a considerably lighter camera, and therefore has different trade-offs. I guess you will need to compare the images directly - assuming the other facilities are identical. Do you need a flash hot-shoe, for example? If weight was important to me, I might choose the FZ5, as the slightly smaller aperture isn't quite so critical for lower light situations when you have the image stabilisation to help you.
