Sony raises $4 billion to expand and develop their sensor business.

Nowadays almost all manufacturers of Digital cameras and Mobile Devices use Sony sensors on some (or all) their devices. The market is still exploding thanks to the selfie camera boom (oh gosh) and the automotive market (they need cams to develop self driving cars). Today Reuters reports:

Sony Corp plans to raise nearly $4 billion via new shares and bonds to plough into image sensors as it reinvents itself as a niche component maker, pulling back from consumer goods like TVs that dragged it into losses.

This means Sony will keep pushing innovation on the sensor front and we can expect that to have great positive effects on their future camera sensors too.
