It is usually under the settings. Not sure FZ10 and FZ20 interface are the same/

fz3 costs 635 at MS Color exluding GST. however, there's no stock. there is also no stock at Alan Photo and Cathay Photo. quite strange. i don't know other reputable shops that carry fz3.

is LORDS at lucky plaza reputable? they quoted me 650 for the FZ3. dunno if GST included? any must-avoid shops there? i saw a few shops with the FZ3 there.

Hi All,

I'm considering in buying the FZ20 as my 2nd digital camera (I have Canon 300D), I was wondering what other accessories besides the SD card would I need to include. And which flash should I consider with the FZ20?

Thanks in advance for all advices.

I bought the FZ20 as my travel cam as I didnt want to lug my DSLR along with the lenses. Its fantastic and took about 1300 photos during my 12 days China trip.

Has a Oly 07 wide angle attachment but quite cumbersome attaching / detaching it. With the zoom up to 400+ mm dont think you need a telecon.

As it has only a single pin, you could use any flash but becareful about the voltage. There is a forum here which discuss about it. I'm using a Nikon flash as I found almost all the Nikon flashguns has voltages that are acceptable to the FZ20.

A UV filter is a must to protect the lens but there are some third party attachment that shortens the front barrel and reduce the diameter to 62mm.

Hope this help.

hi guys

i went down to lucky plaza recently and asked around for the price of fz20..photomart at b1 gave me $850 or $890 (can't rmb) plus a 512 card~

anyone have bought anything from there b4 or any bad experience?

That's a good price... anyone knows if i can use a Nikon SB800 with it? And according to Dpreview, the noise at iso 200 is quite bad.. any comments?

yes real bad... even the panasonic sales person told me (i mean whisper to me) that a black background will turn grey.. if not grey at most very very grainy (if magnified)

im thinking of getting one too... but it seems that fz10 is still a good choice among ppl.... anyone got any comments?? lets say if both are presented to you now. which would you get... i went to a shop the price is roughly:

fz10 - $800
fz20 - $920

 

[littledigitalartist]

dear all,

i just heard, the noise is because of the fact that both fz10 and 20 have the same ccd but fz10 is 4MP while fz20 is 5MP... squeezing more MP (migapixel) into the same size ccd will thus coz the noise... problem is fz20 doesnt have 4mp setting although it can be set to 3mp... if i rem correctly, 3mp and 4 mp have not much difference (ie 4mp is slightly bigger only) i read somewhere that 3mp can print up to 8r and 4mp to A4.. (both abt the same??) dun flame me... im just a newbie offering my 1cts worth....

How is the quality of the Konix filter? Where do you buy it from?

I'm assuming you leave the original tube adapter attached and affix the 72mm filter at the other end? Did you encounter any loss in pic quality or lens flares since the filter is so far away from the lens?

I was quoted

900 (inc. GST, free 256 + original case) by MS color
885 (exc. GST) by AP
