I read somewhere that Panasonic always have a new camera announcement around July 20th. I decided to investigate this further and here are the results - yes, Panasonic has been doing this since 2004:
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX2 & DMC-FX7, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC80, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ15: 21 July 2004
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1: July 20, 2005
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 & DMC-FX07: July 19, 2006
- Panasonic DMC-FZ18, Panasonic DMC-FX55 and FX33: July 24, 2007
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3: July 21, 2008
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37: July 21, 2008
One model is listed as discontinued at B&H: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 and several are out of stock:
- Panasonic DMC-ZS1
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15A
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7G
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 SLR-Style Digital Camera
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 are as aways back ordered.
