Curiosity: Will Sony’s next big thing be a new Drone?

Share

Two anonymous sources hinted about a possible surprising announcement at NAB: A Sony Drone! UPDATE: Two years ago Sony created a new company just for that. Why does it make sense for Sony to join that market?

  1. The DJI Inspire 2 (here on Amazon) uses a Micro Four Thirds mount camera and is the hottest Drone of the moment. this thing sells for over $4,000 and there are is a big accessories market too. Seems like there is money to make here.
  2. Last week Canon announced their first Drone too.
  3. Engadget just reported that “dollar-for-dollar drone sales in the United States have more than doubled over the past year“.

I can now see the potential for a Sony Drone. But there is also a risk: GoPro failed with their Karma launch and has a huge loss because of that. There is also plenty of good players making drones. So if Sony enters the game they really have to get it right from the start.

An update on the camcorder NAB rumors: Probably no FS5II yet…

Share


Image on top shows the current FS5

Back in October a source told me the FS7II would be announced soon. The rumor was correct. The same source said that there might be a new FS5II at NAB. Well today I got info from another source telling me that this is NOT going to happen.  This means the chances to see a new FS5II at NAB is now much less likely then we thought weeks ago.

Reminder: Sony has a press conference scheduled for April 23 at 3 am Las Vegas time (NAB show start).
