Can someone please comment on the fan noise level of the new FZ4000. Has this issue been fixed.
I bought an FZ290 which is an awesome machine all round, but the erratic fan noise is annoying. It is very audible in a quiet room or at night when I am web surfing in bed. I won't mind returning it for an fz4000 and paying a little more, if the fan noise has been fixed.
Thanks

I have a new FZ4000 and it does have an erratic fan noise.
It's a lot louder than my Sony FS750.
i just thought it was normal for the processor that I have.

Its loud on a flat surface and/or on my lap. When I turned it on this morning, the fan noise was loud from the word go. But I was running spybot and ant-virus at the same time...
Not to hijack this thread, but if anyone has Vista 64-bit Ultimate running in their FZ please
give me some feedback. I'm finding the drivers very hard to find.

I have the T8300 2.4 CPU in my FZ4000 and the fan noise is much less than the SZ460 it replaced. There is some quiet cycling up/down sometimes but it doesn't really bother me. Closing sidebar always helps immensely for any fan noise. I am very happy with my Penryn 2.4GHz FZ as far as noise and heat goes.
Maybe it has to do with which speed CPU you choose? -
I'm very, very happy with the T9500 (2.6GHz) CPU and the overall speed of this FZ4000! The fan noise is louder than my previous computers but it does not bother me.
