I am planning to buy FZ3 but people said the noise problem is quite serious ? Is it true, especially for night shot photos ? Did anyone have photos taken by FZ3 ? I see many reviews like Dpreview, DCresource, Steves-Digicams, etc.......... But I hope to see some Hong Kong people's sample ! Please help !

Hi qapman,
I use the Z3 for flower, insect, bird,...
Quite OK when the sunlight is good.
I use the ISO 50 normally.
ISO 100 is still OK.
But forget about the 200 and 400.
BTW, I am looking for my first DSLR.

OIC ! Thank you ! I think the reason for buying FZ3 is because it's big zoom and Lens Stabilizer ! I think I will buy it as the price is really cheap ! $1880 with 256M SD and Panasonic Bags !

Yes the FZ3 is terrible at ISO 400. But for $1,880 it's of great value.
(I bought one too :)

Except the Fuji F10, I don't think the current DCs are any better than FZ3 at high ISO. Better get a DSLR for low noise capability.

I totally agree ! Yesterday I ask Wing Sing, they said if pay $100 more I can get 512M card ! But they just have normal speed. (They give you Kingston Elite Pro 256M SD card) As I read the review, fast card have for FZ3 can save faster ! I think I will keep the 256M !
