New Sony press release confirms A77/Nex-7 production has started.
A dozen of our USA readers sent us the same message received via Sonystore US. Thanks! Here is the original text sent by Sony:
“We would like to update you that Sony has restarted production of NEX7 in our Chonburi Thailand factory which was not impacted by the flooding.
Since we are just beginning to ramp up production in these new lines, we have just begun restart of production at this early stage; however this is positive news that Sony is getting back on track and recovering from flood impact. Although there are no details to share on production schedule today, we expect within the next 2 weeks to have a clearer idea for you.
Again, thank you very much for your continued patience.
Sincerely,
Sony Customer Care“

7 months ago |Yes, and since this communication reportedly came from Sony US, one would expect it to be in reasonably well-stated English, like other communications Sony US puts out. But some people just like to argue and snipe, I get it.

7 months ago |How can they claim they are ‘back on track?’ They were on track to deliver product in October or November, I thought.
What is it they are now ‘on track’ for if they provide no metric to track against?
