I don't know what the shipping date on the PAL version will be. What I'm reporting is what JVC announced at their booth at NAB, that it should be available in July. They didn't narrow that down, so it could be July 1, it could be July 31. Don't know about PAL.
My guess is lots of orders where placed at NAB, so JVC will have backorders to fill in the USA, you will most likely see units already ordered and demo units being delivered in July and I would guess BH are managing expectations.
