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.....  

still no news about LX3 ?

canon G9.. not bad 

nikon P- series ~~ cool

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..

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.

Anyone knows about the price of Fx35??
