43 Rumors

Lisa even though that is an incredibly sad event I am still questioning why the major delay between one shipment and the next. Once an assembly line is in place and you can assemble enough to put on shelves across the world why would an event previous have any effect. If it’s lack of parts then wouldn’t you hold all shipments incase you needed to have different specs due to the use of different venders.(and retooling the assembly line) There are three G-3 in the local camera stores that I could purchase from but if this manufacture is treating it’s early customers as beta-testers I sure don’t want to buy until I know they have worked out all the kinks.

On a side note I think any article that rumors Panasonic cameras really needs to talk about this lack of supply, wether the company sees us early consumers as beta-testing their product at full price, wether there are problems that the company is holding off putting more units on shelves until those problems are addressed. Something does not feel right. And yes I can understand the horrible event, I can even understand waiting a whole year, I can not understand putting out some then waiting a month or more to restock the shelves on a product that is built in an assembly line production style.
