A couple of stores notified their customers that there is a shipping delay on the E-m1III. One reader sent me this note he got from Amazon:

“Hello,
We’re encountering a delay in shipping your order. We’ll send a confirmation as soon as it ships and communicate the expected delivery date. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

I don’t know if the reason behind this is the production issues caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. There are similar delay reports for other manufacturers like Fuji. Now that would be a hard hit for the entire industry which is already suffering a constant sales decline.

Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

Today the Cp+ show was supposed to start. After the event cancellation we still have companies doing some announcements. Today Panasonic announced a new L-mount lens roadmap but there was no MFT related news. No news on future MFT lenses or anything. I think we will get some more Panasonic MFT news at Photokina.

CP+ has been canceled and that’s why Olympus decided to put online their scheduled CP+ talks. They will be public tomorrow on this website: fotopus.com/olympuslive/

I just noticed Amazon pushed back the 12-45mm PRO lens shipment start to April 7 instead of late February as previously stated.

UPDATE: I was wrong. Release date was always April 7. I confused it with the E-M1III release date. Sorry :)

Today Fuji announced the new X-T4 (specs here). But this isn’t the news we really care about. This is: Fujirumors reports that the camera will ship in late April or early May at earliest because of the Coronavirus outbreak. And I guess this will be a fate the whole industry will have to cope with. Also Olympus and Panasonic will run into production issues for both cameras and lenses. And the future product launch roadmap is likely to be delayed too :(
