Panasonic GH6 in Short Supply

According to the Panasonic.jp, the newly announced Panasonic Lumix DC-GH6 is now in short supply.

Panasonic GH6 is scheduled to be released on March 15, they have received reservations that greatly exceeded their expectations, so some customers who have already made reservations may not be delivered on the day of release.

A few days ago, there was information that OM-1 had more orders than expected, but since there was an announcement of supply shortage for GH6, it seems that there are quite a few orders.

Panasonic GH6 has become a more professional-oriented camera, with a larger body and a cooling fan, so we are wondering if there would be so many, but like the OM-1, this is also a good start.
