Now what ?!

Actually I need your advice bros.
but my FZ5 lens cap doesn't feel tightly fit..., is that normal?

Now the storage, what about kingston elite pro 1 GB, is it compatible with the FZ5?, are there quality differences between kingston elite pro 'Assy in Japan' and the one that 'Made in Taiwan' ?

Thx,
-mid-

Hey I just got an FZ5 a week ago! Anyway I was wondering what would be the best wcon/tcon lens to fit on it. I understand oly has the 55mm 0.7/1.7 one, but was wondering if other brands/sizes (together with the step up/down ring) would be a better alternative. Also, would a >2x tcon have any effect on image quality? Advice please...

Bargain city does have nice service... But then their prices usually on the high side with alot of freebies that you don't really need...

Cheers...

 

[airconvent]

For the FZ5, $660 will buy you :
FZ5
2 x 256MB SD cards
Panasonic Case
(I topped up $90 to convert one 256MB card to 1GB card)


So for bargaincity's offer means for $70 extra :
you get :
Upgrade 256MB to 512 mb SD card (worth $25?)
FREE Extra OEM Battery (worth $25)
FREE Cleaning Kit (worth $10?)
FREE Mini Drybox (worth $20?)

So the package is fairly neutral..

Hi guys, newbie to the forum. Going to get my hands on the FZ5 2nd hand soon!
Tried the S2, didn't like it. Missed out on one FZ5 selling in the Buy and sell! keen on developing my photography skills, was trying to get basics right on nikon F80 before but stopped for a while. hope I can grow with the camera... I feel like i've stumbled into some boys club here in CS, hope to learn more about plus/quirks/cons about the cam from you all

 

[plain_queen]

There are lots of FZ user...you can learn alot by searching this forum or simply browsing thru the past thread. Or if you have anything new, can always share.

hi people, i just bought the fz5, anyone knows why the image is blur when it's zoomed to 12x?

the more you zoom the more sensitive it is to blur, this is true for most camera.
blur will occur more especially under low light condition and at zoom.
try to zoom under bright sunlight compare to poor light and you will know the difference.
or is the o.i.s on?

 

[plain_queen]

oops didn't forus so it's blur. it's a great camera since my dmc f7. anyone knows where to get a camera bag for fz5? the bag given don't even fit.

 

[elemental]

maybe you could try some of the bags at cathay photo?
