The same source that first told me about the ZV-E10 camera launch delay now told me that Sony moved the A7IV launch date from mid September to at least October. He also told me that supplies will be limited during the first months :/

This was to be expected. The chip shortage is a big issue for 2021. Many news outlets reported that situation should normalize in 2022 only.
