    Thanks for the reply.:) Well, I guess it's something I have to live with. I bought a SUNPAK flash adapter for my Pana FZ-5 to compensate for the low ISO I had to set because of the noise problem. I may not have to use it that much with F11 good high ISO capability except for "portrait" shots...

    F11 - Flash Recycle Time

    To F11 users, Is the flash recycle time for F11 roughly the same as the F10? dpreview quoted a recycle time of 3.3 secs which is quite long. I was frustrated with my Pana LC33 before because of the long recycle time tho I don't recall exactly how long. Sometimes I feel ashamed when I asked...

    After reading the announcement over at dpreview about the upcoming Fuji F11, it got me thinking whether to switch over for my use. I am quite happy with my FZ5 except that I am limited to ISO100 for "noise-free" pics. I've able to overcome this problem by buying an slave adapter and external...
