G3 vs. G5 Help

The G5 is better suited for those who like to do filming with Panasonic Power Zoom Lenses or upgrading from G1s, G2s.

I highly doubt you be getting your money worth by purchasing the G5 instead of the G3. The additional features aren't worth the extras hundreds especially for someone re entering photography. All that spare hundreds would be better use purchasing additionals lenses like the 20mm for low light and indoor photography.
