Sony says “The impact of the shortage of semiconductors and parts is more serious than expected.”

Share

The Japanese Nikkei magazine had a chat with Sony and this is what has been said (google translated text):

  • Sony has decided to suspend orders for some digital cameras. This is because the main products are out of stock one after another at stores and mail-order sites due to the shortage of semiconductors and parts. There is no way to solve the shortage of parts, including competition from Nikon, which may affect the year-end sales season at the time of scraping.
  • Sony says that the impact is more serious than expected, and wants to alleviate the feeling of shortage at stores by narrowing down production to new products.
  • On the 19th, Nikon released a new interchangeable lens product about a month and a half later than originally planned. The delay was due to “complex factors such as the shortage of semiconductors and the spread of corona infections in Southeast Asia” (the company). With the exception of some cameras that Canon also handles on its direct sales site, it is indicated that the delivery time is one month, indicating a shortage of inventory.
  • Sony says, “We will try to minimize the impact by standardizing parts and increasing inventory by reviewing the design,” but we do not know when it will be resolved.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II review by Lenstip

Share

Preorders:
Sony 70-200mm GM II Lens at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. BuyDig. FocusCamera.
In Europe at FotoKoch DE, Calumet DE, WexUK, ParkUK.

Lenstip tested the new 70-200mm II lens and concluded:

Pros:

  • solid, shapely, lightweight, and weather-sealed casing,
  • sensational image quality in the frame centre,
  • excellent image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,
  • very good image quality on the edge of full frame,
  • sensible correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • negligible lateral chromatic aberration,
  • lack of problems with spherical aberration,
  • slight vignetting on the APS-C/DX sensor,
  • very good coma correction,
  • low astigmatism,
  • nice out-of-focus areas for a zoom lens,
  • silent, flash-quick, and accurate autofocus,
  • very efficient image stabilization.

Cons:

  • very weak performance against bright sources of light,
  • noticeable vignetting on full frame.

If only the Sony FE 70-200 mm f/2.8 OSS II didn’t have that slip-up concerning the performance against bright light it would be really a perfect lens. There’s also the vignetting problem mentioned in cons but in such a construction it would be very difficult to avoid it (of course providing you want your instrument to have sensible physical dimensions and weight). Anyway, it’s hardly a tragedy, especially for mirrorless standards.
