Panasonic announcement next week?
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:
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 are as aways back ordered.
