I am wondering what is the difference between the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 and the DMC-FZ20 ? They seem very similar but there is about a $100 price difference. thanks.

FZ-20 has (that FZ-5 doesn't have, or, if different, difference is stated):

Manual zoom, flash goes 7m as opposed to (23ft) as opposed to FZ-5's 4.5m (14.7ft), Manual focus range is 30cm whereas FZ-5 is 50cm, white balance - FZ20 - 5 + manual, FZ-5 - 4 + manual, FZ-20 has hotshoe for external flash, FZ-20 can take movies with sound, FZ-20's screen is 2.0", FZ-5 is 1.8", and the FZ-20 is slightly bigger and slightly heavier.

Hope this helps badbean.
