Sony FY2017 Earnings Announcement

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 27, 2018

Results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018
Sales increased 76.3 billion yen (13%) year-on-year (a 9% increase on a constant currency basis) to 655.9 billion yen. This significant increase was mainly due to the absence of the impact from the Kumamoto Earthquakes in the previous fiscal year, the impact of foreign exchange rates and an improvement in the product mix of Still and Video Cameras reflecting a shift to high value-added models.

Operating income increased 27.7 billion yen year-on-year to 74.9 billion yen. This significant increase was mainly due to the above-mentioned improvement in product mix, the positive impact of foreign exchange rates and the absence of the impact from the Kumamoto Earthquakes in the previous fiscal year. During the current fiscal year, there was a 11.6 billion yen positive impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019
Sales and operating income are both expected to be essentially flat year-on-year, primarily due to the expected negative impact of foreign exchange rates being substantially offset by an improvement in the product mix of Still and Video Cameras reflecting a shift to high value-added models.

Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz: Again, in the leading position for available light photography
Already in the 1920s, Meyer brought lenses to market which were the fastest lenses of their time: the Kinoplasmat 75/f1. 5. Later the Primoplan 1.9/58 was to become the fastest standard lens for the famous Exakta camera, which was sold in the USA as “Kine night Exakta”. At this time Meyer-Optik Goerlitz was considered as the most prominent manufacturer of available light lenses, so called “giants of light” and in 2016 the company presented the Nocturnus 0.95/50 mm for the first time now available in its third version.
Now Meyer is following the legacy of creating the fastest 75mm lens in the world like it once did with the Kinoplasmat. The Nocturnus 0.95/75 mm lens is a full format lens available for Sony E, Fuji X and Leica M. The company also intends to follow with a 35mm lens later in order to complete its Nocturnus line.

Sony WW771132 Registered Could This Be The Sony a7SIII or Sony a6700

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 26, 2018


WW 771132

  • Digital camera
  • Wi-Fi · Bluetooth installed

We know these cameras are coming soon, but beyond the a7SIII being a low light monster and the a6700 being a snappier camera not much is known. The a6700 should share a sensor with the X-T3 though so 4k 60p and a9 or better performance should be featured.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 25, 2018


Some of the Wasabi Sony NP-FZ100 that were shipped from the original batch were defective so the manufactures has halted shipments. Wasabi generic batteries are generally pretty good and I use them in my Fujifilm and Sony cameras so I am sure they will address the issue shortly and take care of exchanges. Stay tuned for details. If your batteries aren’t giving you an error than you are one of the lucky few to get a functional generic Wasabi Sony NP-FZ100
