hi, i just bought fz8 fr harvey norman, like it very much

yeah fz18 is great

just wondering , where i can buy a lumix casing?

also bought one FZ8 from Harvey Norman , RM999 as compare to most shop still selling at retail price of RM1,699 even after discount also still high at RM1,599.00 , no complaint for that kind of price, wish I can buy the latest FZ18, but budget only allowed for this FZ8 ....

I searched around and did not like that original blue panasonic casing, retail around RM60. Key Color shop at Midvalley has this ori lumix casing if that's what you are after.

So I went to tearproof, a camping and outdoor bags shop. I bought this Eagle Creek one. Been using this for a few months and I do like it so far. Rm40+ if not mistaken. Comes with a waist strap that you can unclip if you just want to hook it to your belt. My TZ3 and 1 battery case fits ngam ngam into this pouch.

The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I knew I was gonna have alot of trouble. The lighting was mix of dim yellow and white.

Tried +2EV without flash, spot, AF mode 9 boxes (haha can't remember the proper term),EC +- 1. Result was accurate colors, but abit of motion from the persons causes blurring. Pics were not sharp.

Tried -2EV with flash, spot , AF mode 9 boxes, EC +- 1. Result was duller colors, abit more noise. Again, pics were not sharp.

Overall, pics were not sharp, visible loss of detail and some blurring even when the person was just moving a tiny bit. I had tried my best to keep my hands still.

Sometimes in group photos, kids will like to move around and wah la.. u got everyone perfect but the kids face and arms blurring. Didn't think of using Sports mode for a Family photo, but maybe next time i might consider it.

Next thing I learned, people tend to expect the flash to occur each time a photo is taken. I tried beforehand in the restaurant and found the non flash +2ev was better than the flash. So during the group photo, I passed the camera to another person to take the photos. Immediate confusion. Everyone though no pic was taken, when there were already 6 shots because of the burst shooting. So no choice I had to turn on the flash and adjust EV just to keep everyone happy.

. Maybe must really carry 2 cameras around. 1 for outdoor and bright lights, another for indoor and low lights. Haih..

dun mind to tell me where is the eagle creek shop located?

eagle creek is just the brand. The shop is Tearproof. I know they have branches in Midvalley and Berjaya Times Square. worth a look as you might find good pouches or bags for other purposes there as well.

i need to get a cam beg for my fx33 as well as the current lumix beg is only close using the magnet which let me feel very unsafe.

might drop by MV for a look after this week ....

thx for the info dude~

Anyone Saw this adapter? I would be interested to buy this if available here. Looks useful as you can use filters on the tz3 or maybe other lumix with the diameter barrel?.

I am looking for an OEM battery for FZ18. I had asked around the shops in Melaka and the price is not much different from the original battery. Ori RM180, OEM RM150.

I had also tried to look in Lelong and eBay but yield nothing.

Thanks in advance.

The OEM battery costs SGD30 in singapore. I got the ori when i bought my FZ18.
