MS Color should have ample stock. Maybe you like to call them at 64576380 to confirm before going down? Look for the boss Mr Loh or Auntie Florence Goh, very friendly people

u still need. at super macro setting, there's no zooming available.

close-up filter allows you to get closer in normal shooting mode.

initial thoughts:
1. focussing was fast and shutter lag was minimal.
2. easy to change settings without going throught the manual
3. works great with my external flash
but
1. under poor lighting conditions, the camera couldn't focus
2. the RiData 20x 256MB CF card wasn't able to capture unlimited video. max so far was 65s.
3. the Fujifilm wide-angle lens "protrude back", so I can't use it with the UV filter on
4. with the flash mounted, I could get a good workout if I shoot a lot.

Thanks

btw, when anyone is buying the camera, check for dead pixels on both the LCD and the EVF. because of the high resolution, any dead pixel will just be a small bright spot.

The first camera I was given had a dead pixel and I rejected it.

I got the lens cap for the 55mm UV filter. The S602Z will be attached with the adaptor and filter all the time (to protect the lens).

Just realised something, the battery life is good! I could take ~200 pics with 4 AA Alkaline batteries!!! And I was viewing the pictures and navigating the menu often!
