I'm pretty sure the FZ-50 has a sensor comparable to a DSLR. Not 100%, since I've not shot with it, but it's a ten megapixel sensor. No one could be stupid enough to make a shitty sensor and bother to give it that many megapixels.
It is probably smaller, though.
>DSLR speed
I have not had any shutter lag problems with its smaller, simpler sibling, the FZ-8, while shooting extensively with it.
>Real optical TTL viewfinder.
I know I'm in the minority, but I prefer -good- (emphasis on the word good) EVFs over optical viewfinders. In addition to losing the reflex mirror, they let one see the exposure as it will turn out.
>did you want to manipulate your depth of field? TOO BAD!
Even if the FZ-50's sensor is smaller, this is possible on a superzoom. One must zoom all the way in and stand far back, but it's possible.
This is one of those situations, though, where both sides have an advantage: sure, it's harder to get a small depth of field, but it's much easier to get a large depth of field- better, say, for street photography and other things where one would have to prefocus. Tradeoff: noise and harder to have a small depth-of-field versus easier to have a large depth of field.
