Sony has to stop sensor production in Kumamoto: Panasonic and Olympus affected too.

Yesterday Sony reported that it will have to keep closed their Kumamoto image sensor production facility at least til End of May. The factory produces image sensor for digital cameras. This includes many Olympus and Panasonic cameras of the present and of the future. The E-M1II (and maybe the GH5?) is rumored to feature such a Sony 20MP sensor too.

I expect that some of the future Panasonic and Olympus cameras announcement and/or shipment may be delayed. Nikon already reported that id had to delay the Nikon DL camera shipment.
