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.
