Panasonic apologizes after being caught using photos taken on Canon, Nikon and Tamron kit

Panasonic uses a photograph taken on a Nikon, by photographer Mircea Bezergheanu, to illustrate the capabilities of Lumix cameras.

UPDATE: Lumix Japan has issued a public apology, after the discovery that it had been using photographs taken with a Nikon camera on its website spread like wildfire across the internet. 

As the story spread, more online sleuths began digging, revealing that the company had also been using images taken using Canon and Tamron equipment. (There's a good roundup of the instances at Photo Rumors.)
