when u need a jacket one time, u will have to pay Rm150 for buying a new one.

it's not weird at all b'coz there's a "LUMIX" on it
and quite a good quality jacket as well

hmm.. not bad the quality of the jacket! and exclusive with the lumix word on it..

so, anyone found out the drawback of the lumix fz35?

If anything, I'd gripe about the video. The colours come out beautiful and you get to shoot at 720p, but doesn't do too well with movement. But this is primarily a still camera, not a video camera.

Hello everyone !
I am thinking to buy FZ35 but I have some questions.

1. Is this camera record at 60fps to memory SDHC ?
2. The file system (at memory or SDHC) is FAT32 or NTFS? If FAT32, whats happen when video arrive 4GB size ? The camera stop to record or new file is create automatically ?
3. What is total memory SDHC accept for this camera ? (16GB or 32GB) ?
4. Is necessary SDHC class 6 to record HD video in maximum quality ?
5. What is battery duration at film mode ?

Well, hope to get some replies about my questions.

Cheers,

looks like you're more into video than the photo well can't answer u much, but i know SDHC class 4 works fine for HD video..

Hello Navilink ! Thanks for help. Now I know SDHC class 4 is ok.
For sure, soon I will get more replies. This site is fantastic, lot information.

1. Not sure bout the fps, i thought it was only 30fps
2. the file system is fat32, i heard in some sites after reaching 29min59s, it will stop and create a new file instantaneously, so probably it reaches its 4gb cap liao that time
3. Not sure bout 32gb. but i'm using 16gb now with no issues
4. I'm using class 4 SDHC without any prob to record full quality
5. No idea, but heard can record more than an hour or even longer with LCD turned off, once I tried video recording 4 like 20mins++ and on top of that still manage to shoot 300photos+++ with flash once a while b4 batt died

Can't find the answers as my manual has gone missing. But here's what I know. At highest resolution 1280x720, it records at 30fps. My card is 8GB Class 6 formated FAT32. No problem with 15 minutes worth of continuous recording at 1280x720. Can't be sure with NTFS.

You are more into video, but this is primarily a still camera. My gripe with its video is when there are major movement (ie. when you pan your camera), the result is not sharp. Also the autofocus is too slow for video mode.

i think is better u try the camera at any camera shop first...

Hello eanson, superb88 and Eugenet !

Thank you very much for messages.
Really one camera with not sharp image and slow autofocus in video mode is not good deal.
I need look other hybrid camera.

hey pro..I would like to know about the sony Hx-1 and lumix Fz35?which one better and which one more worth it....

for me i will say fz35 is the winner,unless u compare fz35 wif canon sx20...thats a tough rival

well just to summarized excerpt from review from CameraLabs:

SX20 Pros:
- slightly longer 20x zoom range
- slightly smaller but fully-articulated screen
- flash hotshoe for mounting external Speedlites
- electronic viewfinder with the same resolution but a bigger apparent size
- large thumb wheel of the Canon felt ergonomically superior
- convenience of picking up spare AA batteries

FZ35 Pros:
- FZ38 / FZ35 digitally corrects the coloured fringing seen towards the corners in many of the Canon’s images
- maximum aperture of the FZ38 / FZ35 when zoomed-into 486mm is a brighter f4.4, compared to f5.7 of the SX20 IS from 460-560mm
- FZ38 / FZ35’s stabilisation was approximately one stop more effective
- AF speed slightly faster
- FZ38 / FZ35 features RAW recording
- manual control over the exposure in the movie mode
- a longer maximum exposure of 60 seconds
- smaller and considerably lighter camera

imho, i think on image quality, FZ35 wins, SX20 wins only mostly on physical designs..

anyone knows where to get a spare usb cable for the FZ35 ?

can i know what is f4.4?the more value of f will effecting the pic in what condition?

f4.4 is the aperture value.. the smaller the value is, the bigger the opening of the shutter blade (u can see it physically in ur camera with rough eyes)..

purpose? just google it up, dunno how to explain

I will like to ask,LX3 compare with FZ35 image quality,which is better?quality differences alot?

erm..thanks alot....if we wan to snap something,like flower, we just adjust the aperture value for making the background blur?
