Sony Moves Camera Factory, Starts Alpha A65, A77 and NEX-7 Production

It’s no secret that Sony’s camera ambitions have been hurting the past few months. After the company was to set to launch their highly anticipated Alpha A65, A77 and NEX-7, Thailand was hit with massive floods, the same location where Sony was manufacturing their next generation cameras. This caused Sony to delay all three camera models till March, though the company was able to get some shipments out the door, prior to the flooding. Now, there is some good news for both Sony shareholders and camera enthusiasts. Sony has been able to begin production of the Alpha A65, A77 and NEX-7 by using an existing factory in Chonburi, Thailand. The factory which previously produced other Sony cameras has been transformed to accommodate the new flagship cameras from Sony. No date has been given for production output but you can bet that Sony is working on it around the clock.

Do you think that it’s a good move on Sony’s part to transform a previous camera factory to accommodate the newer series?
