very surprised nobody mentioned the tilt and swivel LCD of the S1 as a major advantage to the other megazooms... to me its a major selling point..

Owned the S1 but sold it off for the FZ10. From experience, FZ10 gives sharper details in comparison with the S1. Presently using Z3, sharp pictures, fast focusing and continuous shooting. This is, in my opinion, the selling point of the Z3. FZ10 was good (solid build and Leica Lens) but slower than the Z3.

FZ10 pic quality is veri gd..
been using a canon s1 for a few days.... realise the 640x480 30fps video is not as good as canon boast....zzz.... the quality is somehow pixelated.... wonder why....perhaps indoor? haben got time to test it outdoor for video....hmmm....
680 is a good price! :thumbsup:
Anyway, sample pictures of Z3 here

Zenten said:Like you said, it could be the low light condition that you were shooting under that caused the somewhat pixelated look. On the whole, I still think the S1 still has the best movie mode amongst the all the cameras in this class.
i've heard people mention about the low speed card for 640x480 30fps n having difficulty in recording.... i tested wif an old cf card...speed should be slow .... althought i get a '!' after 10sec....the recording still goes on... after that viewing it on pc or cam, no problem...hmm....i wonder ! is for wat purpose since the recording seems to be ok
Just tried Z3 AS over the lunch hour.. at maximum zoom 420mm? I took at few shots at 1/100 sec, they look good in the preview zoom in. That's a 2 stop gain liao..

That would be noise under low light rather than pixelated.... pixelated look comes about when u over stretch a low res pic....

That might be due to the aggressive sharpening algo in the camera.... some people dun like it.....
I have also looked at both Z3 and FZ10.
Not sure about you, but I have seen a couple of forums with normal pp posting their pictures from both cameras, and I find the FZ10 produces better results. But that is just my opinion.
Plan to get the FZ10 maybe next week during the fair. :thumbsup:
