This is why Panasonic names their camera in different ways in different countries…

I was told by a source that the reason there are different names is because some regions want to be able to distinguish the local official model from the grey import easily. So with different model number for each region, you can easily tell if the camera is from local official distribution channel.

I believe the solution creates more problems than it wants to solve…
