Well, shutter lag is the big one. And I mean the difference between
milliseconds and seconds. It really is huge. I still don't get how
people put up with it. I haven't used the current generation of
Panasonic cameras, but at least up until a couple of years ago, none
had *any* detectable shutter lag. IIRC fast RAM was used to
immediately cache the CCD's output.

Then there's lens quality and image processing - both of which were
excellent on the Panasonics and rather variable on others I've used.
