    Do all FZ 4xx series come with Magnesium Casing? And how come some models have their weight listed as 5.9 pounds while others are listed as 6.1 pounds?

    Yes they do. And AFIAK, Xbrite-Hicolor (dual-lamp) models are 0.2 lbs heavier than Xbrite-eco models (however, 6.1pound is heavier than old models -hmm). I still recommend HiColor, though. Also, other components can affect weights, as well.
