Of course, the Rebel with the fixed 50mm lens blows everything
away. That comparison is in there to show what a real camera
is capable of.
The differences between the Fuji and the Panasonic are more complex.
The Panasonic has clearly superior optics and costs a little less.
The Fuji has good noise characteristics up to perhaps ISO 400, but no
image stabilizer, for a net advantage of close to zero. Both have
mechanical zoom rings and fly-by-wire manual focus rings. The Panasonic
has a 2" higher resolution LCD, but both have nice high-res viewfinders.
The Fuji uses nice standard AA batteries, while the Panasonic uses yet
another proprietary battery. Both are waaay larger and heavier than
what I'm carrying around now.

If I were writing a check today, I'd probably go for the FZ30. But
if the FZ5 just had the sweet manual focus of its big brothers, I'd
be all over it in a second. :-)
