The V-Lux 5 was released 9 years later than the FZ35 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the V-Lux 5 matches up versus the FZ35 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Leica V-Lux 5 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35. The complete galleries are provided at Leica V-Lux 5 Gallery and Panasonic FZ35 Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Typically, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by seeing specifications. The visual below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 5 and FZ35.

To sum up, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The V-Lux 5 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Leica V-Lux 5 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer V-Lux 5 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
