aiyok..less than a month i juz bought the FZ28 laaa..sudah keluar baru..but nothing diffrent actlly..i hope so...

yealar.. i just bought mine oso last month =6

Almost bought the FZ28 last week...no wonder some shops asked says no more stock. Was wondering why until saw the review early this week for FZ38.

Navilink - Is the RRP accurate? Where can I get one?

yes,the RRP will be RM1699,street price around RM1500,will be available next week

Saw some reviews and photos taken by it. Very very impressive. But then, very near to the price of an entry level SLR. What do you all think?

Might be paying in installment for it...so want to get some feedback first before committing.

i new to camera, then i saw this, is this camera suitable for newbie -.-'.

wanna to ask something, what mean the 11 elements in 8 groups, so this camera able to attached extra lenses?

Personally this camera is good in a point and shoot situation, with the addition of a powerful zoom feature. I'm currently waiting for it. Been asking everywhere (PJ area) but no shops seem to stock them yet. Anyone seen this model on sale anywhere yet?

And where did you see the 11 elements.....

it should only available on early september

i saw the 11 elements... in here.

I couldn't resist but I have to post this. It's the FZ-38 capturing HD movie. Tell me that you don't want this camera.

RM 2499?? which date? that price can buy an entry level slr lor.

huh about the same price as lx3
sure or not oh

oops sorry typo error

yup the price will not be anymore than 1699..

well, i believe the street price for this is below 1500 as well... cuz the previous FZ28's market price oso 1499... street price should be much cheaper...

well, i think it is 1 of the best semi-pro... im eyeing on this model...

I was shopping for a camera and FZ28 caught my eye. Now that FZ35 / FZ38 is coming out, I'll wait for it.

Just a question. I own a Powershot and I could use a computer to control it. i.e. I trained the camera on my backyard squirrels and a computer controls it via a USB cable. It was set to take shots every 5 seconds. The pictures are automatically saved on the computer instead of the camera, thus allowing me to take a lot of pictures.

Any chance the Panasonic DMC-FZ28 could do the same?

Is this out already in Malaysia? can't seem to find it anywhere..
