as I know FZ5 ard RM1400-1500

while FZ30 is RM1999
FZ20 is RM1799

hmm.. what price it going to offer?
guess FZ5 will drop ...

i sent e-mail to Panasonic Malaysia and this is their reply.

Dear Sir



Greetings from Panasonic Malaysia!



Thank you for your keen interest in our Panasonic digital cameras.

Please be informed that we do not market Panasonic FZ7 in Malaysia yet. At this point of time, we do not have any information pertaining to the model. We will definitely inform you once we launch this model in the market and its availability at our sales outlet.

seems like not much improve from FZ5 to FZ7 on Noise issue

but FZ7 no macro button but got macro mode which quite "mafan":p

now what i saw the review is
FZ7 have some MP increase ,additional Shooting modes ,Manual focus (via joystick), better movie mode, better bettery life(320 over 300) ,bigger LCD but lower pixel (2.5 over 1.8 , FZ7 = 114,000 pixels)

Anyway now FZ5 is RM1499 include 256MB
if FZ7 is really RM1500++ ,it will be a nice and good price.

p.s :number beside is my rating ,maximum 4

Dnt talk abt the coming soon de ,
I will say
Canon S2IS is the one who produce sharp and nice photoand good image stabilizer but noise problem quite heavy .
Overall performance(speed ,continuos shot and etc) 4
Photo quality 4
Noise ,Flash ,red eye issue 2
Image stabilizer 3.8
Handgrip and design 4
(RM1980 camera body ,512MB SD ,No Battery)

Sony H1 is the one who produce soft and nice photo and not bad image stabilizer and noise problem still occur but not heavy as FZ5 or S2
Overall performance(speed ,continuos shot and etc) 3
Photo quality 3.5
Noise issue 3
Image stabilizer 3
Handgrip and design 4
(RM1800 Camera body ,512MS Pro,2 AA recharge battery)

FZ5 good things is burst mode which fast and small and light body ,but no manual focus and cant add lens.
Overall performance(speed ,continuos shot and etc) 3.5
Photo quality 3
Noise issue 2
Image stabilizer 4
Handgrip and design 3.5
(RM1600 Camera body ,512MB SD, Lion battery)

Konica Minolta Z6 ,I just do a light test on this ,but I feel tht the camera performance little bit slow and AS is not as good as other image stabilizer

Fuji S5600 is quite nice with the ISO ,if I adjust ISO higher actually I can take the photo very nicely when the sunlight is strong ,so when the sunlight is enough no worry on this camera ,u just need to adjust shutter speed and ISO and when enviroment is a bit dark ,without anti-shake is quite troublesome ,but u still can count on the high ISO
Overall performance(speed ,continuos shot and etc) 2.5
Photo quality 3
Noise issue 4
No image stabilizer but depend on high ISO and Super CCD 2.5
Handgrip and design 3
(RM1500 Camera body ,512MB xD ,no battery)

Olympus SP-500UZ ,it really is a slow camera ,totally slow,and the LCD look a bit weird to me ,no anti-shake somemore but photo quality not bad lah and noise quite well.

Personally if FZ7 ISO200 have good image in ISO200 and average noise in ISO400 is ok already but too bad .....

Conclusion get from dpreview.com is
Higher than average Noise at ISO 80
Strong color noise at ISO 200+

and FZ5
More noise at ISO 80 than we'd like to see
Noise reduction at ISO 400 in low light obliterates too much fine detail ('watercolor' look)

aiyoh, dnt knw why lah ,seems like 0 improvement in ISO issue.

the obvious improment from FZ5 to FZ7
is 6mp over 5mp
bigger LCD
manual focus
Better movie mode(640 x 480)

anyway ,not a major upgrade but minor only.

o... which newspaper??

FZ5 selling RM1400 only ,guess retail price shld be RM1599 loh

FZ7 shld be selling RM1600 ,anyone mind to have a check?

newspaper got ? which newspaper and when de

chteh0721

cool ,FX01 ard 300picture.

get a spare battery just in-case ^^

tht 390 I think is CIPA standard which consist of 50% flash .

FX8/9 and FX01/07 is a very big diff from the output of photo I c.

FX01/07 is much more nicer for my eyes .
