Pana FZ20 $1099 At IT Show Worth?

[rhair78]

sounds good... it is like what, $35?

I got mine for $35 each. white label with green words.

But on this sub forum there have been posts that ppl have managed to get the eastgear batts at only $23... friggin cheap IMO, but not sure of the validity of the claims.

Good day donchua,

- EVF is place extreme left side, different from standard SLR types. If your using left eye to focus, your nose and mouth will end up "moisturising" the LCD.

Why does this seem to be quoted from me? Hrmm..

Actually the issue is less of lubricating the LCD. It's when your thumb reaches for the buttons to change the exposure settings.. It will jab your face/ eye. =p

You a bit late lah... I really put up all the batteries with my FZ20 for sale.

AP is selling at $25 and East Gear one is about $35 but someone mentioned can get at $27. Personally, I find the East Gear one better.

Actually the extended warranty quite subjective and it is non-transferable. So if you are getting it as a gift for someone, don't bother with the extended warranty.

The HN warranty, how does it work, when the set is spoilt after year 1, then send to HN, HN send to Panasonic or they will repair the set themself :dunno:

i think the warranty is quite standard, and comprehensive. it's a bonus to have

If you hold your FZ20 for the next 3 years, it is a bonus.

Personally I felt the Original is ok. For East gear and AP, I vote for East Gear. Somehow or rather, I felt East Gear one is able to hold charge better than AP one.

You can go to CP and get the Tokina one. If you use Phayee adaptor which is 62mm, it will be much cheaper. I manage to get 1 x 62mm UV filter for $10.

If you're willing to wait for about 1 week, I should be able to sell you mine cheap cheap... Also will be selling my CP filter.
