Tripod i got the standard 10 inch one la.

Just now i bump into another crazy deal while i was tryin to look for a bigger camera bag. The original Z18 one is kinda crappy sad to say.

Camera bag selling for RM75
but if you buy a 1.5meter tripod u get the bag for free. Tripod sells for RM59.90

So I bought the tripod and get a free bag. Crazy doens't make sense.

Shop is Photo Miami @ Seksyen 14 Digital Mall there

Well, good for you that the shop not selling at sensible price! laugh.gif

told u all already go to the IKANO wan la... they don't mind u bargainin coz the camera dept is shifting to another location. So they wanna clear stock as well. That why can get cheaper. Also think u'll nid a Bargaining for DUmmies hahaha. I go Fotokem also can get 1470 2GB HD SD card lol!!

Use la the cheap technique

1) squeeze a lowest price.
2) Say wahh i go another shop (then u name shop and location) cheaper than u this this price. U can do that for me o not?
3) My friend ask me come here he buy here so cheap this this price. I'm sure u can do that price.
3) Wah ur price is interesting, ok i give u straight cold hard cash now. What price u give me?
4) Wahhh not bad, ok like this, U give me one extra SD card/ battery / etc. I confirm buy from u now. Wont squeeze anymore.
5) aiyoh no cash now, I'll see how la. Nid to withdraw. (then He'll prolly say "OK la u got CC now i give u this price for CC")

*now u buy the unit*

6) This is when u joke with him abit, if u got balls squeeze him some more. Then while u bodek him say la he good saleperson, u'll recommend more frends to come see u bla bla.
7) when he setting up & testing ur camera u ask, eh u also got tripod ah? u sell how much? he'll give u a very cheap price also, then u ask him wahh ok la.. fren fren u bundle in also la. then he'll either give free another accessory or sell to u at cost price.
8) b4 u leave make sure u shake his hands and ask him for his name again. Then u say thank you and I'll remember u, u're a really good salesperson. (u do this so next time u wanna buy accessories or upgrade or buy another unit, he'll take care of u kao kao and u can get a really good deal next time as well)

Ok la all the best!

Walau i post this here, all the camera shops gonna go broke man. tongue.gif

HAVE FUN!!

FZ18 is the best of the 'really big' zoom cameras.

Guys, I was thinking of obtaining the DMC-F728. Whats your views on the camera? They're also having a promotion on the panasonic website. RM1499 with Lumix Camera Case and 4GB SD memory card. Is there anywhere else I can get it cheaper?

I like S5IS coz:

Zooming when shooting video, not sure Pana can or not.

AA Battery for many days shooting if cannot charge battery, littium sure die. AA can bring many and still can buy alkaline.

Can use external flash coz got hot shoe.

But SX1 the brother to S5 is out. HD Video, CMOS sensor and 20x Zoom
