The Panasonic FZ7 is the latest camera to be awarded a prestigious DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association) Gold Award for a digital superzoom camera.

Beating off the competition, DIWA experts concluded that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 ?is one of the most versatile cameras ever built?, thanks to its combination of a 12x optical zoom, image stabilisation and 6-megapixel sensor.

DIWA is a growing international group of independent specialist websites dedicated to digital imaging. The awards come in the form of bronze, silver and gold medals for different product categories throughout the year, culminating in annual ‘best of the year’ Platinum medal awards in all categories.

The FZ7 currently has a street price of around £250. More information is available at www.panasonic.co.uk
