Panasonic US managers responds: Lumix G9 II early sales are very strong!
After my video were I reported about the low preorder numbers of the G9II Panasonic did share this answer to Digitalcameraworld:
“Thus far, Lumix G9 II early sales are very strong,” said Dan Unger, corporate communications manager at Panasonic USA.
I repeat once more that my statement was based on:
- My historic preorder numbers of MFT cameras. Were the G9II scores the lowest ever result (with only a small fraction of the preorder numbers I had on the OM-1 or GH5 for example)
- Feedback from larger stores in US, DE, UK that told me preorders were extremely low according to their metrics (comparison with past MFT camera preorders and APS-C competition).
I do hope Panasonic is telling the truth (unlike some Olympus company statements in the past), and I hope to be totally wrong!
But if by some chance I am right in my partial assessment…Panasonic will waste the opportunity to learn from this and correct their path: Lower prices, more innovation, working on creating trust, etc…
