Sony ZV-E10II, Canon R5II and Leica M11-D launches postponed to June

In the past days we got confirmation about a triple camera launch delay:

  • Sony ZV-E10II which was supposed to be announced in late May might now be announced in June at best
  • The Leica M11-D which should have been announced this week already (we know this from testers)…is now postponed to June
  • Canon R5II which was rumored to be announced in May is now coming later…maybe even after June.

Don’t know why this is happening. Maybe some shared bottlenecks in components production or some new EU regulations related to AI? No idea…
