Both models feature the same internal specifications, but the DZGX5080A includes a built in LED light that makes recording in low light situations easier. Still images are restricted by the camcorder's lackluster CCD, producing a maximum image resolution of 640x480 (0.3MP).  The DZGX5080A also has a USB2 connectivity option.
