Sony image sensor division becomes a separate company.

Sony announced that it will split off its semiconductors operations and create a separate company. This will help them give autonomy to accelerate decision-making and make them more accountable for their profitability.

The move means that Sony’s core businesses are now mobile, gaming, imaging (cameras), movies, music and financial services. Those businesses — especially mobile — will now have to stand on their own without sensors to prop them up.

As we know from previous reports the camera division is doing fine. And todays Sony decision will not change anything for the future.
