Sandisk launched a new Creator storage series you can see and preorder at BHphoto. An article about those products can be read on Explora.

If you order the Sony A1II today you are likely to get it in April only according to the latest update posted on Adorama. No US or European store has any A1II in Stock right now:

Sony A1II at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, BestBuy, FotoErhardt, FotoKoch, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton, CameraPro. Sony Australia.

I wonder if the reason for this is high demand (as reported by Sony) or if there is a supply chain issue that is slowing down camera production.
