Sony will resume Kumamoto sensor production on May 21

As you know Sony had to stop their sensor production in Kumamoto due the damages caused by the April earthquake. The good news is that Sony officialy released a press text in which they say they will resume full operations on May 21.

The Kumamoto facility produces most of the digital camera sensors. That’s why olympus had to delay the E-Pl8 camera launch as this camera uses Sony sensors made in Kumamoto.
