Fake Sony a9II Reports

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 1, 2025


There was a false report earlier today about the Sony a9 II order page changing to a request assistance button; it was not because of Trump’s tariffs, but because the camera has been discontinued abroad, so B&H Photo is likely just having trouble finding stock. B&H Photo must have worked it out pretty quickly, though, because you can currently order cameras from them again, so they might have had some more in the warehouse, or there might have been one last shipment in transit to them.

If you want a Sony a9II now, it’s probably a good time to get one, because the US does lag overseas when it comes to cameras being discontinued, but I don’t imagine you will be able to get new Sony a9II cameras for very much longer, considering it was discontinued last year overseas.

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp Might Be Spun Off

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 30, 2025


In 2019, an activist investor wanted to spin off Sony’s Semiconductor division, but nothing came of his actions. Sony probably didn’t think it was a good time in 2019, but now, after 6 additional years of growth, it is being reported that Sony is in talks to spin off the division, which is now valued at $49 billion USD. This won’t impact Sony camera sales, but would give the division more autonomy to invest heavily in developing new chips.
