Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50Panasonic UK have confirmed that the WiFi-enabled DMC-TZ50 camera announced last week will not be released in the UK or Europe.

Mark Robinson, Lumix Product manager, commented “Panasonic is currently exploring new opportunities with potential alliances and wireless technologies. The United States was selected as the testing ground for TZ50 due to the availability of a unified HotSpot service provider with coverage throughout the country. At the moment the provision of HotSpot services in Europe is very fragmented, and therefore less suitable for our first launch. A decision about the possibility of the Wi-Fi camera concept (not necessary TZ50) coming to Europe in the future is still under review”.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50 is a 9 megapixel, 10x zoom compact camera with built-in Wi-Fi, retailing for $449 in the USA.
