Hi all Lumix fans here,how do u guys feel the advantage of Fz18 over Fz8??Apart from the zoom and wide lens,do u guys feel they are more or less the same?Im deciding to grab Fz8 instead of Fz18 but the pricing for Fz8 isn't that cheap around sungei wang(except online sales)...and for Fz18,I have a news that new stock will be reach within 1 months times from Japan,so to anyone who wish to own Fz18,u guys can wait for around 1 month time..and start to hunt again

Just bought FZ18 yesterday evening from Foto Edar, Sg Wang. They only had the black colour. Most other places notably Boeing, Tarita out of stock.
Anyway my bundle came to 1600 for:
Camera
2GB Panasonic SD
Case
Extra Panasonic battery
some cheapo uv filter to use as lens protector

1570 without the filter
1430 without the battery & filter

i need help here!

my fx3 camera battery..
when its charging the green light keeps blinking..any indication for this?
then when i take it out and put back into camera, it shows that the battery is flat..>.<

is that FZ50 going to obsolete? no more stock from most of the shop ...

I think not.. FZ50 is still considered quite new?

@pangping,
Try clean the contact with tissue or cloth and also the battery see if this helps

wongkev, err.. can open your own gallery instead of posting it all here?

Photo Gallery

That way you will be motivated to keep shooting and posting more pics.

I bought my black FZ18 in Singapore a week ago. RM1658 after conversion. Package includes: camera, 2GB card, case, extra 1 original Panasonic battery, HOYA UV protector lens, screen protector. Many places here also out of stock.

I am new in photography. The photos from FZ18 impresses me. With 18x Zoom ability (more than 100x optical+digital zoom, 3MP), i think it will serve me well when i go to concert next time. In this moment, I use it as normal camera, switch it to P mode most of the time. The manual has been printed out and i need to digest it. I think it is worth for money as it is even cheaper than some of the digicam.

I think i will start to learn how to take pro type of photos.

Happy capturing.

hi guys..sorry i dunno if this question suitable to be ask here or not...

its about FX33 and FX55 .. i know they having same processing engine n others and diff frm the outlook...

but see from some review on net...some said that even they share same technology but seems like the quality of pic n the ISO noise is slightly different?

is that true? any sifu to answer me here?

thank you very much for the reply~~

FX33 and FX55 .. only difference is the LCD size
both having the same sensors n same lens but in terms of pic quality n ISO how could it be tat much difference , my fren??

but if u want a better choice , better go for FZ18.....
