A bit more info on the prizes:
Panasonic Lumix G2
The Panasonic Lumix G2 is more like a hybrid between a point-and-shoot and a DSLR camera; it looks quite compact and light but featuring a 4-42mm/F3.5-5.6 interchangeable lens. If you are a casual photographer, going straight to a DSLR camera might be a daunting task because most of the time, you need to understand how to set the Aperture, Shutter Speed, and other advanced settings on a DSLR camera.
Panasonic Lumix G2 allows you to automatically set the shutter speed, focus, etc just like a point and shoot camera so you can get great looking images with very little knowledge about photography! If you are a beginner in photography then the Panasonic Lumix G2 will really suit you well. Not to mention that it’s really easy to change these settings via the Panasonic Lumix G2’s LCD touch screen. The camera is great if you don’t know about photography but just as great if you do as the Panasonic Lumix G2 have full manual controls which gives the best of both worlds!
Panasonic Lumix G2 key features
- Great for people who don’t know anything about taking photos but want to learn how to. But if you do, the Panasonic Lumix G2 have full manual controls for you to play around with.
- Intelligent Auto Mode – so that camera will choose all the bets setting for you but you can also choose full manual.
- Its comes in three colours which is pretty cool, not many other do (red, black and blue)
- Very compact for a camera of its types
- Halfway between Point-and-Shoot and SLR, so basically you don’t need to be proficient at using a DLSR to use the G-Series
- G Series basically the training wheels to the real deal
- Automatic light, Shutter Speed, Focus etc…Just like a Point & Shoot but with great looking photos!
- Touch screen for easy and intuitive operation
- Targeted at budding photographers who are a little unsure of how to use a camera
- Also shoots high quality HD Movies!
- It can come in the standard pack (one lense 14-42mm) but you can also get the twin lense pack (45-200mm) which is a very powerful zoom lenses for those that want it (RRP AU$1599). Very good value to get an additional 45-200mm lenses.

Panasonic Lumix TZ10
The Panasonic Lumix TZ10 is basically a point and shoot camera under the Lumix family. There are not many cameras with more than 10 optical zoom lens so the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 will certainly make purchasers very happy. The zoom lens can also be reinforced by getting the twin lens pack instead of the standard pack for only AU$300 more!
It’s definitely designed for frequent travellers who are looking for a compact point and shoot camera, with style and power. The camera has a built-in GPS so you can easily record your travel photos and compile them into a great photo album about your whole journey. The Panasonic Lumix TZ10 also supports recording movies in HD quality (720p) which will come in handy when you need one.
Although the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 is aimed for people who just can’t be bothered with manually set things up, the camera also has a manual option so creative photographers can still change a few of the camera settings and take creative shots.
Panasonic Lumix TZ10 key features
- Compact in size
