Where get the accessories for FZ35? I intended to get the len protector DMW-LMC46. I think it is the same type for LX3.

Is there a compatible protector from Hoya?

Is the fz38 available yet in singapore? it is not in malaysia

?? Hi, I just went to Malacca 1 week ago.
And saw this latest model over there @ the shopping centre already.
Actually, abit shocked, cos i bought my FZ-28 when there is no new models released ;p

I went to funan to check out the prices of fz35. Forget to ask if the price quoted was inclusive of gst and what freebies are there.

John 3:16 - Stock have not arrive

Mustafa - Stock have not arrive

I just want to get the camera, case and 8gb card. Screen protector i will get it from another place and i dun need a tripod. Was thinking of getting from song brothers as the price is the lowest quoted. Hope you all can give me some advice (first time I am getting a camera) on which shop to buy from as I have been getting mix reviews about the reputation of some of the shops. Thanks.

anyone checked with mostafa? it was the cheapest + free stuff in town when i got my FZ18

 

[ah zhao]

Oh ya. I forget to include mustafa. Their fz35 stocks have not arrive either. But is products sold at mustafa local warrenty? As last time I buy a philips gogear player, I wasn't given a warrenty card and told by the salesman to register online intstead.

The range is fine but shld maintain a constant f2.8 thruout...like FZ-20.
If they increase range, i fear more CA like other lenses, than LEICA lenses wouldn't be LEICA anymore

Also if they add more pixels, than dynamic ranges and noise all go down too

That's why I'm keeping my precious FZ20

Thinking of getting one, its the best superzoom out there now. :think:
