Panasonic FZ30 Receives DIWA Gold Award

Amsterdam, 14. November 2005 ? DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association), a world-wide organization of collaborating websites within digital imaging, today announces a DIWA Gold Award to the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ30 megazoom camera.

Kai Thon, DIWA's test manager, concludes: "Plummeting prices have dramatically increased the sales of D-SLR cameras. Unfortunately, many will buy a cheap D-SLR package with a mediocre standard zoom lens and never purchase additional lenses. For these people, the FZ30 will be a wiser choice than any comparable D-SLR package in terms of versatility, lens quality and value for money. Often, they may add the two lens converters, a reserve battery pack, a large memory card and still have money to spare."
