Also the optical zoom: 4x vs 10x

Minor difference in the bulk: smaller vs bigger

And the MSRP price: $450 vs $350

Care to enlighten us on the CCD numbers?


OK..... I missed one REALLY big difference:

CONTROL



The LX has it, the TZ does NOT.

The LX caters to SLR users wanting something more portable/less bulky but still retaining the ability to easily control critical parameter.

The TZ really caters more to the pure "point-and-shot" crowd.

I also briefly looked at the FX series. Here's the side-by-side comparison from the Pansonic website:
