Sony Japan issued an official press text to confirm that the RX1RII shipment will resume on February 19!
It’s also good to know that our source gave use that information in advance yesterday. And for you it will be even more exciting to hear that the same source confirmed the A6100 is coming 😉
RX1RII store search link: [shopcountry 44135]
The reason for the delay has not been mentioned by Sony but we can assume that the source who gave us the press information yesterday shared also the correct cause of the delay:
Apparently issue with new rx1 camera was caused by light leak when shooting under harsh direct light. Light was getting inside the camera only with evf up. Cameras that were sold with that issue will be replaced, new shipment of cameras doesn’t have that problem anymore. There should be official announcement tomorrow, dealers were already asked to trace back customers that bought rx1rm2
Good news is that they traced the problem themselves and didn’t follow Nikon “lets hope that no one will find out” path ?
