QUOTE(CoffeeDude @ Dec 13 2007, 10:09 PM) I got my 46mm Hoya filters from Cathay Photo in Singapore. May I know how much it cost you for this filter. I guess a UV filter? Any chances in KL, Damansara or IKANO area?? |

QUOTE(Photocraz @ Dec 13 2007, 05:08 PM) Yes, 46mm is really odd. I've tried Foto-Shang and Fotokem. Both don't carry and stock. haha ~ Fz series really powerful during day time... when when reach night time osh..... u need robotic hand.... that's my experiance... n sometimes i find it hardly get my desired focus... don know current series got improve the focusing or not.. by the way i use to b Fz7 kaki heheAs for the adaptor ring, it's completely not practical since its attached to the permanent lens hood where the lens will protrude when you zoom on. Well, seems no choices at all but to find the 46mm filter(s). Another set back. Added on December 13, 2007, 5:14 pm Yes, never easy when taking night shots. But you can try the - Scene - Party / Concert for low light indoor. Try out some detail setting for light source. As for outdoor, I'll try out tonight and see if we can find something to share with. Any advises from Sifu - Sifu?? |

Night photography - emmmm will try to find a solution. Afterall, seems like all other non-DSLR suffer more than FZ18. Some says that FZ50 did the best job for non-DSLR. With the price over RM2500.00  better go for DSLR. Most of all FZ18 comes with RAW format and camera made in Japan. No other non-DSLR offer RAW format except Olympus 560UZ but made in Indonesia that perform worst than FZ8 what more to say FZ18. |

QUOTE(830808 @ Dec 13 2007, 09:18 PM) ops No zoom while shooting video...!!!! what a shock . no wander not much details i can get in the pana website. sorry, but this feature is really unlikely. lenz zooming motion too noisy, mic will record the sound.However i still got confident in Pana. Might wait for next version, hope manufacture will concern this feature also.  |

ewin - it's uncompressed file for ppl who need to do some editing using those image editing s/w. mostly for publishing/advertising purposes where the print out quality is extremely important. this format mostly found in SLRs.

You guys got any tips on taking night shots? I know tripod is necessary, but even with a tripod, I still feel the pictures can be better. :|

QUOTE(830808 @ Dec 17 2007, 02:16 PM) Frankly, ISO for Fz18 isn't as good as Canon S5is. Other then that, Fz18 is pretty impressive within its range. I don't quite agree with increasing the ISO for Fz18 since ISO 400 and above seems not impressive where ISO 800 seems almost unacceptable to me. I prefer setting us the lighting condition and adjusting the exposure with ISO limited to max 400. Try it out but for sure that fast movement of moving object still negative.

For me no complaint.This post has been edited by Photocraz: Dec 17 2007, 03:44 PM |
