Anyone could tell me the major functional difference between MZ-5 and MZ-3? I
may choose one of them. Thanks.

and the links hanging off it. The -5n is closer to the -3 than to the
-5. When looking for an upgrade (no cripple mount) to my -50 I
rejected the -5 as it did not have DOF preview and exposure ML. I also
rejected the -3 on grounds of (unjustified to me, just a slightly
faster shutter) cost and it was a toss-up between the -5n and the -6
(which has very good flash features, in addition to DOF preview and
exposure ML), but has a penta-mirror, rather than a penta-prism.
If I was to make the same decision again, I would again hold the same
toss-up, and the first one to arrive at a good price I would buy.
Except if one could stretch to the MZ-S, which is my ultimate goal
right now.
