FZ50 vs FZ30: Main differences

 Where the FZ30 was a major upgrade of the FZ20 both internally and externally, 
 the FZ50 is more evolutionary than revolutionary, and aside from the new sensor 
 the changes are - for the most part - minor.

TIFF file format dropped (RAW remains)

Venus Engine III (vs Venus Engine II)

Full resolution ISO settings up to 1600 (vs 400)

TTL Flash hot-shoe
