Sony issued a new press release to inform that the Kumamoto facility damaged during the recent earthquake will resume the wafer sensor production on May 21.

Of course not just the Sony factory has been hit by the earthquake, but also third-party suppliers, who are also very important to keep the sensor production running. In this regard, the press release says:

Although there was a delay in the supply of components to Sony from certain third-party suppliers that also have manufacturing facilities in the Kumamoto region, inventory adjustments have been made and a timeframe for regaining supply levels is now in place, so no material impact is anticipated on Sony’s business operations.

Does this mean there won’t be any delay on future products? I don’t think so :(
