Sony has just postponed the launch of its new NEX-7
mirrorless camera, due to widespread flooding in Thailand. According to
the manufacturer, the flooding has impacted operations at two of its
three factories within the country, thereby delaying production of both
the NEX-7 and Alpha A65. Reuters
is reporting that one camera plant has been completely flooded, while
operations at a semiconductor factory have been suspended due to supply
shortages. The NEX-7 was originally scheduled to hit the market next
month, though Sony now says it has been delayed indefinitely. "It is
difficult for us to say at this time when production will re-start in
Thailand," spokesman George Boyd told the BBC. "However, we are
taking measures to move production to our third factory in Thailand
which is operational and also to other sites."
