Dedicated to Pros and Serious Enthusiasts
Panasonic has stepped up with a very important program for serious photographers. I mention serious, not professionals, since the program is all based on the equipment you use, not if you make a professional living from it. This is a smart move since there are so few pros left, AND why should somebody who buys their professional gear get less than pro service? The following is a list of camera bodies and lenses that qualify you for this program.

Tom Curley: Advocate for us all
None of this would’ve been possible without the dogged determination of our Lumix Ambassador leader Tom Curley. Tom’s been working with serious photographers, mostly pros, for decades.
Tom understands why it’s important for a company to make this kind of commitment if they plan to attract the most dedicated user. I, for one, applaud Tom Curley’s foresight and passion to provide an organized, well-rounded program for Lumix users.

Lumix gear is already nearly bombproof
With this new program, we’ll now have excellent service to help fix any problems that do arise. Even so, I’ve been shooting Lumix gear now since 2008, and with every passing day I’m more and more impressed with the durability of these cameras. But I’m very excited we do have this new service. For an example of how durable Lumix cameras are, you can watch the video below from our last trip to France.
I told you these cameras are durable.
