The lost FT10 camera's owner has been found!

The search is over and we have found the ecstatic owner of the tough Lumix FT10 caught by Adam Biro on October 15. The family was tracked down through the company they rented their houseboat from, Luxury Afloat, which appeared in the last pictures taken on the camera. Emma Griffin, 12, has been reunited with her camera, which had around 750 images on it. Emma and her family, from Avoca Beach NSW were holidaying on a houseboat on the Hawkesbury River in October when the camera fell off Emma's wrist while she was swimming.

Adam Biro, a glazier, snagged the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT10 tough digital camera at Cottage Rock in Cowan Creek while fishing near an inlet on the Hawkesbury River, Sydney - seven days after the last image had been captured on the camera.

When Adam came to us asking for help to find the camera's owner, we knew the fastest way of getting the message out was using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and our blog. Eventually the family was tracked down through the company they rented their houseboat from, Luxury Afloat, which appeared in the last pictures taken on the camera.

Finding the owners of the tough Lumix FT10 wouldn't have been possible without the help from the Panasonic online community. Emma, Daniel and the team at Panasonic are incredibly grateful to Adam and everyone who shared his YouTube video on Facebook and Twitter.

This story gives me hope since I have lost my Panasonic Lumix over the last 2 weeks and no one knows anything about it.

What an excellent story. I'm sure she'll keep that camera for a long time and it will be a story she'll get to tell her Grand children.
