I'm not a mastro but I'd say the pic is quite nice and it is a keeper.

sound like a good deal...will jz do the hunting at sg wang+lowyat there...lazy drive all the way to harvey norman at ikano lar.....hope to get a better deal...but im so horrible in bargaining
btw....is tose EXTEND warranty worth it?especially harvey norman 5 years ext.warranty??? what the catch?

Suggest you try calling up some shops to check for availability before going

Weee. i just bought my FZ 18 from Harvey Norman Ikano.

RM1599 :

Fz 18
2 x 2GB
mini tripod
screen protector
casing

and 5 YEARS warranty

hahaha that's exactly the same price as mine if that warranty was added into ur's ^^ Grats

Welcome to the world of z18, u'll absolutely love it.

Welcom all Panasonic users.

User List added on post #1

just bought today...last unit of black one...FZ18....same price...1599...5 yrs warranty...but dun have screen protector....

no need bargain at all...just said..my fren bough at sunday...he tekan tekan com.....then ok....terus jual....

anyway...sorry first timer here..the lense cap which include a string...wat is that for?

To tie the lens cap to the camera strap.

Ok since we're one Pana family. PM me if u're interested to buy a super good high quality bag for nonsence price. Its exactly like a Crampler photo bag but bigger and better. Ur eyes will pop out if u see the bag and the price tag with it. I can't send any pics of it now coz i'm in office. Might do it later when i get home.

Lol, I think I'm really blessed being the man who keeps bumping into crazy deals.

z18 extra batteries anyone?
best i get is

RM160 - Original
RM40 - Pirated

If we bulk it its cheaper.

IMO, don't bother strapping the lens cap to the camera. Its freaking annoying when u're taking pics especially when u have to be mobile and move alot to take shots. Just put the cap into ur pocket or in the bag.

if u're having a problem with dirty lens, from dust or alot dust on ur camera I suggest u get a cleaning kit and a LensPen Micro

Cleaning Kit cheap dea from Photo Miami @ seksyen 17 (Near Digital mall next to Baker's Cottage)
RM30 u'll get
Blower, cotton buds, lens cloth, cleaning liquid, lens brush, lens tissue.

LensPen Micro is awesomely fantastic for cleaning lenses but its more practical for DSLR users la.
Its about RM30 and hard to find u can get it in Foto Data @ Midvalley

HAHHAAHA shadowofevil - nice one man.. I told HIM I will be telling everyone about this price..hahaha... who did you deal with? Aaron/?
but how come no screen protector.. so sad...

Hey Knuu - i am planning to get a bag leh.. any pics? i want something like the crumpler ones.... haha really interested..and the price tooo..
pirated batteries any defect ar? still can use right???

hmm....well its a fine young man...with spec...quite young though...easy to talk..since his first word to me is cantonese...lagi good... but based on the receipt there dint state his name is aaron...

anyhow...he said takda screen protector already out of stock....for me my buy is like masuk pit lane...1
1.call before i go..
2. ask them reserve..
3. reach already ask them show me the piece
4.then said friend of mine come on sunday and bough one...then he tekan comp..and check...and agree the 1599 price straight away..

anyway my deal is thanks to u mate....save my time go bargain...haha....
just asking bro...tat day the display unit u saw in shop is in grey color or black one?

anyway do u guyz know a 2.5" screen protector for FZ18 will cost?

@knuu
do provide the pic and of cuz the PRICE....after buying my first cam....kinda broke...

ok stupid question, how do i insert pics in the forum??

[img][/img]
in the middle part u put ur link which u upload to the photobucket etc...or jz use attach service in here lar

anyway...tried play with the cam....gosh....nearly all pic is blured.....is that i kena Parkinson or wat....sad!!!!
i mz improve....or it is the cam....err rosak.../*touchy wood!!

hahaha chill dude. that's part of learning about using a good camera. would u be surprised if i tell u DSLRs do have the same problem even if u shake abit or move abit. If u wanna shake less try using P and auto settings will set in. but if u relaly wanna do photography with lotsa movement or sports photo u nid to do it on manual setting. then play around with the aperture, shutter and ISO (this takes alot of practise).

also u could try this tip. take shots after u breathout and about to breath in. also have a support for ur arms and if its too shake use the EVF, rest it on ur eyes and nose then u won't shake much.

worry not, i still do take blurry pics hahaha i'm also learning.

walau i keep all my pics on my pc no upload stuff wan... aiseh now gotta subscribe something pulak..... hahaha
i tot can upload image straight

hey thks for the tip bro..yeah i use lauyah point shoot cam....first time using a prosumer cam.....still learning....and hope to read more and learn more...my trip is comming soon....dun feel wana see all tose blurry pic when come bec malaysia hahaha....it will be disastrous!

p.s: photobucket...upload pic easiest lar....

courtesy of knuu bro....Rm55@fotokem sunway pyramid



so anyone plan to get it?well i do....the original lumix bag(or should i call it pouch) its....hmm...

I bought 2 46mm filters for my FZ18.

Coffee Dude - how much are the filters ? - only to protect UV lights? sorry I'm kinda noob - Whats the purpose of it??
