I´m not a Photo Freak so I´m looking for a nice and easy Camera, can somebody
help me to decide which one I should go for? I just need it to "take" pictures of my family and on holidaytrips, due to the fact I´m a Windsurfer it should have the 12x zoom and O.I.S. for having the option to take pictures of me or friends
on the water. I´m pretty sure not to need the external flash/hot shoe feature, about the lens converter i´ve got no idea what for and the other difference, the less good ability to catch light (f2,8 to f2,8-F3,3) does it really matter? As I mention before, i´m not a professional. Can those features countervail the size and weight advantage of the FZ5?

Looks like the one you need is the FZ5. Read the above thread, though, and make your own opinion.
