Sony To Make Major Camera Announcement In February 2014 [Rumor]

Sony To Make Major Camera Announcement In February 2014 [Rumor]Back in October, Sony took the wraps off two new cameras, the Sony A7 and A7R, both of which are mirrorless cameras that feature full-frame sensors, something professional photographers might appreciate, especially given that they have been packaged into a rather portable solution. Well if you’re looking forward to more Sony full-frame announcements in the future, chances are Sony will be making them come February 2014. This is according to the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors who claims that one of their sources has tipped them off to a possible announcement around that time.

The announcement is expected to cover both APS-C and full-frame cameras but apart from that not much else is known at the moment, although the source did state that at least one of the cameras will definitely be worth looking forward to. As it stands there will be a CP+ show held in Japan between the 13th to 16th of February, so it wouldn’t be a complete surprise if Sony were to take the opportunity and use that event as a platform to announce their new products. Until then take it with a grain of salt, but be sure to check back with us around that time for the details. In the meantime we will be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information on Sony’s upcoming cameras.

    The PlayStation 3 will soon be considered a “last-generation console” as soon as the PlayStation 4 is released in two weeks.

    Sony Sees Substantial Increase In Its Smartphone Sales

    Sony Sees Substantial Increase In Its Smartphone Sales

    The global smartphone market is very competitive, that’s certainly no secret. You have the big guys, Apple and Samsung, battling it out on top. Then there are a plethora of manufacturers who are competing against each other, while not losing sight of where they ultimately want to be. In recent years, Sony too has emerged as a player in this market. Just this year it has released a number of impressive smartphones that have been very well received. Sony’s reveals in its last quarter’s earnings report that it has seen a 39.3 percent increase in its smartphone shipments as compared to the same time last year.

    On the back of strong sales, Sony’s smartphone business also sees a decrease in operating loss of $9 million. Despite that particular business performing well, the company’s other divisions are being given a run for their money in their respective markets. Sony has actually cut down its annual profit forecast from $500 million to $300 million. The company’s camera sales witnessed a 6.9 percent decline, whereas its TV sales are up. In the last quarter, Sony managed to sell 2 million PlayStation 3 units, but its gaming division still posted an operating loss of $8 million. The loss is blamed on “strategic price reduction” of the PS Vita. Sony is hopeful that its new console, the PlayStation 4, will bring the division back to profitability.
