Panasonic Receives Triple DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association) Gold Awards For LUMIX Digital Cameras DMC-G2, DMC-TZ10(ZS7) and DMC-FX66(FX68)
Panasonic is pleased to announce that the DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association), a world-wide organization of collaborating websites, honors the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G2, DMC-TZ10(ZS7) and DMC-FX66(FX68) with DIWA Gold Awards. The prestigious DIWA Awards are based on test results carried out in the DIWA Labs, and evaluations of more than 200 different camera details made by DIWA members.
“The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G2 features the world’s first touch-screen shooting control in a system camera. This small mirror-less system camera, tailor-made for the super-compact Micro Four Thirds System standard, makes the DMC-G2 package exceptionally portable, yet delivering professional image quality. In addition to its compactness, the Panasonic DMC-G2 receives its DIWA Gold Awards for its intuitive operation, first class screen and LVF (Live View Finder), and last but not least – its ability to capture high quality 12.1 MP stills and HD movies.”
“The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ10(ZS7) offers innovative technology and all-round features which makes it a unique versatile megazoom camera. 12x Leica DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 25mm wide angle, 12.1 Megapixel multi-aspect CCD, Venus Engine HD II, GPS, and HD movie in AVCHD Lite provides ultimate power to the palm of your hand. The Panasonic DMC-TZ10(ZS7) sets a new standard for megazoom cameras, in terms of versatility as well as image quality.”
“The Panasonic DMC-FX66(FX68) offers a new image processing technology with added options for even more remarkable results. Yet another argument in favour of the ultra-compact LUMIX FX-series. The 5x LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens in the FX66(FX68) has a bright 25mm f/2.8 wide-angle, for high quality photo/movie shooting even in low-light. Furthermore, the high-performance Venus Engine V offers super-fast responses and lets the user fully enjoy easy-to-use operation.”
Kai Thon, test manager of DIWA Labs comments: “Not long ago, Panasonic were an outsider to the established camera industry. In many respects, they are now leading the way. All the three awarded cameras have vital common factors, such as innovative thinking, supreme engineering and craftsmanship, and user-friendly design. Most importantly, however, is that all cameras deliver the highest image quality of their class. This is partly thanks to Panasonic’s partnership with the optical legend, Leica of Germany, but also in-house world leading imaging and electronics expertise.”
