Originally posted by RonHendriks1966 To me it looks like there are still production issues since the Z1 is still not available in large quantaties. No idea on what it is hanging, but it only comes out of the factory in small numbers.
There are seven in stock on Amazon UK (with more on the way), and it's readily available at the larger dedicated photography dealers here too.
I wouldn't be so quick in jumping to negative and unsubstantiated conclusions over production issues, Ron. For once, how about giving Ricoh the benefit of the doubt? Perhaps there's just a supply and distribution delay localised to your region. Or maybe the Netherlands was simply further down the list of Ricoh's delivery priorities.
When it reaches the Dutch suppliers, will you be placing your order?
