Hi Guys... :)

I have placed order for FZ40 in ebay US.

Will post, once I get it.

Hope, I wont get any trouble getting compatible battery after 2,3 years... ;)

I had dilemma over FZ35, while ordering... As FZ35 comes 75$ cheaper in ebay and it is lighter and smaller relatively to FZ40. But finally went for FZ40.

Thanks all guys.

Thankssss ;-)

Probably by, June 5th/6th. Long wait...

It seems some month earlier, FZ45 has been sold for 360$... but now they are in demand. Price shooting....

Read as, manufacturing has been affected by Japan quake.. :-(

-----

Ahhh... I didnt notice that.. the item listed in ebay is of type 'Opened but new'... :-(

So, my frnd ... didnt ordered... :-(

But good thing is ...

Now i find a deal in amazon... FZ40 for 330$... :);)
But before ordering it.. my frnd went to bed.. :-(

Tonight, I wil ask my frnd to order it... paying extra for fast shipment... lets see.. whether i can catch that deall.. ;) :-/

Congrats on the Panny. Did you consider Olympus's pen series by any chance ? They are not heavy like DSLRs but offer good scope for experimentation to casual photographers.

Those "NEX" types are not SLR's :razz: Those are called EVILs = Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens :)

I know, I have read about it...they dont have a shutter in them...I liked Sony's translucent shutter Idea of A55

^ EVILs dont have mirrors. That why there is no "reflex" thing ans so these are not SLRs. Sony A55 has a translucent mirror. How can shutters be translucent.

^ Keep your mind away from 3D photos and all such gimmick :p

Anyway, my vote: G12 > S95 > FZ45
