Panasonic confirms that there is a delay on digital camera production due the Kumamoto earthquake

Two days ago I reported that both Olympus and Panasonic are rumored to have postponed many camera releases. And it’s likely the new GH5 and E-M1II will ship 2-3 months later than expected.

Today Panasonic Japan confirmed that the Kumamoto earthquake damage will have a negative impact on their digital camera business. Panasonic didn’t disclose any details about the possible shipment delays and affect on the future roadmap.
