Sony suspends orders for their cameras as global chip shortage continues to wreck havoc - SoyaCincau

First it came for the graphics cards, then it came for the video game consoles, and now the global semiconductor shortage appears to also have caused more trouble for Sony’s cameras.

In a post on their Japanese website, Sony issued a notice apologising to customers that they’ll be suspending the acceptance of orders from both customers and distributors for themirrorless vlogging camera. Despite having only launched it a few months ago, Sony is struggling to find and obtain parts to manufacture the camera due to the global semiconductor shortages, and will only consider taking in orders again if they can improve their supply chain.

Unfortunately for Sony, it’s just the latest product of theirs that has had production suspended due to supply chain issues. Back in November, Sony had to put the A7 II, A6400 and A1600 cameras on hold as well as the PXW-Z190 camcorder and ECM-B1M shotgun mic. Meanwhile, the Sony Handycam HDR-CX680 camcorder was also suspended back in April of this year. And of course, Sony still has trouble keeping up with the massive demand for their Sony PlayStation 5 among other things.

As for the ZV-E10, it’s currently listed as sold out on the Sony Malaysia website, and judging by the suspension of orders from Sony’s HQ, it’s perhaps safe to say that we’re likely not going to see it becoming available again anytime soon. Which is quite a shame, as the ZV-E10 did seem like a good camera not just for vloggers, but also streamers who wanted a good webcam, or even just as a solid entry-level camera.

DNB: Telcos can provide 5G access for free until 31 March 2022 - SoyaCincauDNB says its network is ready for 5G services and they are giving free access to all telcos. Currently, only TM has confirmed its participation in the 5G user trial. Still doubt MNOs will accept this even for free, as there is still an internal major cost for them to reconfigure their networks, and once MNOs have offered to their consumers, even for free trial, it sets a precedence which will be hard to retract if they have to later.
