Sony Corp. said Thursday it will launch one interchangeable lens digital camera and one single-lens reflex digital camera in Japan on Jan. 27, more than two months late due to effects of the recent flooding in Thailand.
The Japanese electronics company earlier planned to launch the NEX-7 and the Alpha65 on Nov. 11, but could not market them during the year-end shopping season as it was forced to suspend manufacturing in Thailand due to the extensive flooding there, the company said.
The products will be produced at another Sony plant in the country. With the launch of the new mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, Sony is aiming to enhance its competitive edge in the rapidly growing market segment.
