Panasonic Japan issued a note about the GH5 availability. Because of higher than expected preorders they expect a delay in the GH5 delivery. There is no detailed info about when we can expect to get our hands on the GH5.
As reported yesterday BHphoto expects to start shipping out the camera on March 28. But it’s likely that not all those of you who preordered the camera will get it on that day.
