News S1Rii - Read all about it!

I suspect the Amazon Spain price is an error of some sort, though being removed and then coming back might suggest otherwise. It's very unusual to get such a good deal here.

Is there something coming in April we did not expect? Something not video focused?

I don't think so. The Amazon Europe has many pricing errors that are repeating. Back when I was shooting m43, Olympus immediat discount Deals where well known to double at amazon from time to time. Amazon sometimes dropped the price of some lenses by the Olympus discount and additionally had a coupon on the lens for the Olympus discount which could activate on top. Sometimes they accidentally also sell the kit for the body price or something like that. And often it seems that the notice the error and correct the price, but it will happen again only a short time later. If the product is on stock, amazon also shipped the product for the price error, because the system of Amazon is faster in shipping than in correcting errors.

S1Rii shipped today from B&H in New York. I should see it on April 1.

Awesome. May I ask - when did you order it? I pre-ordered mine on the day of the announcement, and while Adorama has charged my card, they have no tracking number now for several days, although I suppose I should be patient as it has been over the weekend.

I pre-ordered just a few minutes after the announcement.

B&H is closed Saturdays and they started shipping today, Sunday. Adorama is also closed Saturdays and open Sundays, so hopefully they're paking yours right now.

Interesting too: 7 out of 10 cameras on the first 10 places are smaller bodies.

Yes, but it's a Japanese store and smaller camera's tend to be more successful in Japan compared to other countries. However, compared cameras are on the rise. Also the Panasonic TZ99 seems to be quite successful (but that's another topic).
 
But some of the context I also found interesting:

Body units alone have been sold in far greater numbers than lens kits. This suggests that many buyers are replacing their previous models.
As the mount is Leica Camera's L-Mount, it seems that some buyers are considering combining it with lenses from other manufacturers.

So I understand a lot of the buyers want it as a replacement or addition for their lumix gear they already have, OR they want it for more special lenses (like anamorphic ;)). Might also be for cheaper Meike or TT-artisans gear, but I presume you would not use a cheap lens on an expensive body, although it might be for a Sigma.

Also nice to see that Sony and Canon are not dominating anymore.

Never liked the Sony's (for their color science), and hate the no-third-party sh.t of Canon.
