The 8x 16x style notation doesn't work with cameras because it doesn't tell you anything about how close in you can "zoom".
Here is why the term is meaningless: A 4x zoom that starts at 35mm has...

The NEX will win at higher ISOs, it doesn't get similar until you get something like the GH3 or the OM-D.
That being said, you won't need to go to ISO 1600 on the GF2 because the 25mm is F1.4...

Good point. Not a true comparison with the PZ but for my purposes, I'm picking up the 20mm f1.7 anyway so cheaper body was more important for me.

the newer 16mp sensor like the one in the GX1 is better for many reasons besides just being a higher mp rating... all things equal, a lower mp rating gives you better low light performance

This GF5 has a better grip for one handed shots, higher resolution LCD screen and higher ISO(12800) STEREO sound, not MONO over the GF3. Maybe some other hidden gems that I did not mention.

Unless you feel your e-420 is lack of something and the GF5 offers that something, then do the upgrade. Improving shooting is more important or more fun than upgrading the tool.

If slightly big size is not an issue, $259 from bensoutlet.com for Nikon V1 is a good deal.
It has better picture quality than LX7, and its autofocus is one of the fastest mirrorless cameras.
