Thanks for the heads up =D. In that case, i think im leaning more towards the F11, but im beginning to like the F30, because of its extra modes (not as much for its ISO3200) like the flash and without flash 2 in 1 shots. Very useful

how much is a finepix z2? i need some small things for my gf

Any news on the F30 launching date ? I might get one.

Thanks.

Go taiwan buy Zhao Yun.

Thinking to take F11 or wait untill F30 launched, anybody have an idea how much this F30 will be?
thanks...

Don't buy the F11 if you can wait for F30. F30 is going to be launch tomorrow at Singapore, according to Fujifilm Singapore. You know once it is in Singapore, you don't have to wait long for it to reach our shore.

Yesterday went to Fujifilm shop at bkt jambul penang, they said if i want F30 i need to oder. asking them about the price, it will be below than RM1.6k, i think i should wait it in market around 1-2 month b4 take it. to get a better price....

ya, price should be cheaper than f11
around 1150-1200

if u all cant wait, its RM1.7k shipped to malaysia including 512MB xD and free shipping =D

i've tried asking a few shops if they know F30 is coming or not... but they don't seems like they know there's such model... let's hope is cheaper than RM1,600 then i'll be very happy...

Btw, i'm also intrested to Panasonic FZ7 as my second choice. in term of picture quality can this FZ7 beat F30? FZ7 also hv manual focus, but it got lot of noise at high ISO speed.

The Fujifilm S9500 would beat the FZ7 in terms of noise. The F30 is not an ultrazoom but the noise is much better. Also, FZ7's ISO800 and ISO1600 look blotchy and look like a 200% blow up thanks to noise removal in the camera.

I saw some reviews saying that FZ30's ISO quite terrible, it has been an issue even at ISO200 something like that. not sure.

Please correct me, if i am wrong ...

So, if lets say you all gonna choose, which one you all gonna choose? The S9500 or FZ30?

S9500 definitely; its ISO400 is decent and can go up to ISO1600. Its manual focus ring is a lot more responsive. The FZ30's ring is very laggy and manual focus ring is quite unusable especially when zooming in. You have to see it to know what I mean.

The S9500 uses 4 AA batteries. Its zoom range is not as far as the FZ30's but still practical because it also does wide angle at 28mm.

The S9500 does not have OIS but makes up for it with high ISO (in most cases I'd rather have faster shutter speeds.)

The review of S9500 is out. Kindly visit dpreview.com

Am i repeating?

he's selling the F30 for RM1250 0.o
cheaper than the F11 which is at Rm1350 0.o

wow... that is quite cheap based on its performance... don't you think?

The mykamera in Sri Petaling Endah Parade is selling the FUJI S9500 RM2199 (FOC 1GB CF Card)

Is this price worthly?

i'm interested with S9500, but its still using 5th gen sccd, i wonder when will be the nex refresh to S9500 with the newer sccd 6...

....

I am very worried everytime when I read this line in the Bulk forums :-

Note: Full amount is needed to be deposited in order for the order to be processed. If there is a cancelation after the order is made, there would be no refund! Please take note.

No, thank you. I am rather wait for the F30.

Thanks for the heads up.
