That sorta explains why we've been seeing supply shortages for GH series. Panasonic has no desire to produce mass number of GH units. Just a small batch at a time for the niche market. Those who want it will eventually will get it if they wait long enough. Obviously their main focus is the mass market by selling lots of GF units. Hopefully GH series lasts long...

Although it puts things in perspective, 15% of Panasonics market is still a lot of cameras. The shortage we're seeing is because the camera hasn't yet arrived! Probably a few shipments imported by some smaller operations, some more from Hong Kong, but the Bulk of Panasonic's cameras hasn't yet arrived from Japan... That's why the authorized dealers hasn't gotten theirs yet.
