Sony has resumed production of A6400 APS-C mirrorless camera but A7 II and A6100 likely discontinued

by Leave a Comment

Could the supply chain issues possibly be coming to an end? Well, we’ll have to see about that but for now at least, Sony has announced that they’re able to resume production of 2019’s Sony A6400 APS-C mirrorless camera. Sales of the model were originally suspended in November 2021 due to the ongoing silicone shortage and supply chain issues. Now, though, it appears to be back. At least at the Sony Store, with regular retailers coming soon.

Sony Japan’s statement says that they’re now accepting orders from both distributors as well as customers at the Sony store for the A6400. And while distributors can order, they haven’t yet said when those distributors will receive them and when we’ll be able to order from our favourite local (or online) camera shops again. It also looks like the A7 II and A6100 might not be coming back at all.

Sony has announced that they’re halting production of three of their Alpha series mirrorless cameras due to the global silicon shortage. Fortunately, for one of them at least, it’s an older camera model. The Sony A7 II, which has now been superseded twice, since the recent announcement of the Sony A7 IV. The two other models, though, the A6100 and A6400 are still both current models, released in only 2019.

The announcement states that orders for these camera models have now been suspended and they will not be sending any more to distributors or to customers via the Sony store due to the tight supply. So, if you were hoping to pick up one of these models in the Black Friday sales this week, you might be out of luck – unless you can find a retailer that still has a little stock left.
