Hvx200 vs. Z5?

Can anyone give me any input on the overall quality of the HVX200 VS. the Sony Z5 for shooting events, such as a wedding? I know the Panasonic has a 4:3:3 color space and the Sony does not, though would that make much of a difference? What other different quality issues might there show up?

Thanks!
 
I've owned both. The Sony gives you better resolution, and a very long lens, but it has CMOS sensors, is subject to skew, and rolling shutter.
The Panasonic has CCD's, and better color space but is slightly lower res, and noisier in the shadows.

I like both cameras but the Panasonic continues to get calls for work so that's the one I've kept.

I've never done wedding work but I would imagine that CCD's might have the edge here.
