Panasonic S1rII delivery start postponed to 31 March

The shipment start of the S1rII has been delayed to March 31 according to updated info at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. The reason is simple: Panasonic Japan explained it in an official statement released last week:

Thank you for your continued patronage of Panasonic products.

We have received many more pre-orders than we expected for the full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera LUMIX “DC-S1RM2,” scheduled for release in late March. As a result, some customers who have already pre-ordered may not be able to receive their product on the release date. In
addition, customers who pre-order in the future may have to wait some time after the product is released before receiving it. We
sincerely apologize to customers who have been looking forward to the product and to all other related parties for any inconvenience this may cause.

We will make every effort to deliver the product as soon as possible in order to meet our customers’ expectations, and we ask for your understanding.

This is good news for Panasonic, slightly less good news for those of you who have pre-ordered the camera.

DEAL REMINDER: Today is the last day where you get the Sandisk CARD for free when preording the S1rII at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama.
