Take my breathe away..........................
The first sample/image Quality pic of each review! Wow.............. Can't believe it's taken with a under S$1K camera. Very detail!!!

However, the DPreview first sample pic file name was "040919-1100-10.jpg"
Wonder why?

Phil had the camera for a while before i started using it, and a couple of the shots were taken by Jo... they were renamed to allow us to differentiate and give the right credit, that's all. S

That first pic was taken at ISO80, F4, focal length 16mm (about 3X zoom). It's a great shot!

No doubt that it is an intensive on. But I read a better review than this. See link:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/fz20.html

It has pics for tele shots, wide ...etc. Take a peek at it and tell me how do you find it.

My FZ20 is arriving soon about 10 days from US. And also I ordered a Kingmax paltinuim 1GB Sd card. Better price than Sin I think, so far.

Last time I asked at AP, they quoted me S$860. Can try your luck there. Dunno what are they bundling it with either.

pretty good performance, especially the image quality, resolution and fast write times. only thing lacking is perhaps the autofocus performance which though pretty ok, could still have some improvement (e.g. vs Fujifilm S602Z, a >2 year old camera, which focusses faster at both wide (f2.8) and tele (f3.1)).

Haha... Ok... I take it back, this is definately a more comprehensive review. Oh well... I like both reviews. Haven't have the time to read through everything yet leh...

And congrats on your soon-to-be new camera! It'll be an interesting journey. I bet you can't wait... Haha.

Cheers!
