Sony’s ZV-E10 Camera Sales Suspended Due to Chip Shortage

Last Updated on December 7, 2021 by Anu Joy

The global chip shortage has claimed yet another victim—this time it’s the Sony’s ZV-E10. The company has stopped accepting orders of the Alpha ZV-E10 vlogging camera since December 3.

The company announced on its website that it will be temporarily suspending orders of its digital imaging products. It cited the global semiconductor shortage as the reason behind the delay in procurement of parts.

Sony Japan went on to state that it is no longer accepting orders from dealers and customers of the ZV-E10 from December 3. The vlogging camera isn’t the only casualty in Sony’s product line-up. The company had also previously stopped selling its A7 II series, the A6400 series, and the A6100 body (in black), all digital single-lens cameras. Joining the list was the ECM-B1M shotgun microphone and its professional camcorder, the PXW-Z190. The company had earlier suspended sales of its Digital video camera Handycam HDR-CX680, the tripod VCT-P300, as well as the multi-pod VCT-MP1.

Sony Japan, in its statement, said:

Currently, with regard to digital imaging products, parts procurement is delayed due to the effects of global semiconductor shortages.

Therefore, we will suspend the acceptance of orders from our distributors and customers at the Sony store as follows for specific models with tight supply.

Regarding the resumption of order acceptance, we will consider it while observing the status of parts supply, and will inform you separately on the product information page.

The global chip shortage has affected multiple products this year, such as GPUs, PS5s, and even iPhones. Recently, Canon had announced shipping delays for up to six months for its new EOS R3 camera. Back in June, Nikon was unable to procure enough parts for its EH-7P AC adapter accompanying its Z7 and Z7 II cameras. Fujifilm’s X-S10 and other camera gear were also affected by shipping delays.
