Avoid Panasonic Products at all costs

Thanks to the lousy products and services of Panasonic and Digitec Panama, I have not been able to publish any photos on this blog. Our brand new Lumix DMC-TZ1 camera broke within six weeks and reparation is going to tale more than two months. Panasonic has outsourced its services to Digitec and that company is so inept that they take three weeks to tell you haow much the repair is going to cost. Granted, they did tell me immediately that the repair was not covered by any warranty.

After those three weeks, they still have to order the spare parts. And ther spare parts have to conme from Japan, ... by ship. That ship will dock on 15 December, so I don´t think we will get our camera back until the new year. I only found out about this shipment story after I got so upset with being told that the spare part was going to arrive ´tomorrow´that I contacted Panasonic. They contacted Digitec and found out about the december arrival. So these Digitec people have been lying to me through the teeth!

A bit of searching on the internet revealed that at least five more people have had the same problem with the same model. And that is only the ones that write about it on the internet.

So I strongly suggest that you avoid buying any Panasonic products. You really do not want to give your loved ones a Christmas present that breaks down just after New Year do you?
