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 :)
