Hi, I'm thinking of getting the FZ20 this weekend. Anybody has any suggestion as to which shop is offering the best deal? Thanks in advance.

Why not you wait till the SITEX show.

Most cameras will be offered at retail price in such shows but with a lot of unnecessary accessories (e.g., minipod, training, cap, etc) thrown in.
I would also like to have a gauge of what the typical players (AP, MS, CP) had offered FZ20 owners. Thanks.

i bought mine at 1k on the dot with an additional sd card (512mb) and a camera case from AP(funan) last week.

Think it's more or less same price la. 512mb SD is about $68 @ SLS. Bought my FZ20 @ $930 incl GST. The original camera case is useless! Got mine sitting at home waste space............

Btw, where is AP(funan)? Which level I mean!

I just sold the case away@SGD12 rather than waste space at home...

Hmmmm.... Actually I thought that the original case is very useful. Whenever I need to travel light(eg. Work, dinner, blah blah blah...) I'll just use the original casing and not carry any extras. Found it perfect because it could fit into any bag that I carry and don't need to lug around anything else. I wish the colour is not so weird though...

Just another opinion lah...

I also wanted to use the original casing because it looks so neat.
But then I think the lens will be prone to dust. No choice, right?

Oh boy, am I glad I got out of this!!!
Had hard time deciding FZ3 over FZ20. Now am happy owner of FZ20. Very fun to use......

What I did, list the pros and cons of both models.
The most pros one wins.

fz3 costs 635 at MS Color exluding GST. however, there's no stock. there is also no stock at Alan Photo and Cathay Photo. quite strange. i don't know other reputable shops that carry fz3.

Just got mine recently

Was quoted $915 (including GST) by AP (Funan) and MS Color. CP slighty higher price
But mine didn't include any Panasonic camera case

I hope Panasonic will come up with an underwater casing for the FZ20 in the near future.
