According to this article the latest reports Sony camera sales are down from 1.8 to 1.6 Million units. It’s really a big drop resulting approx 9.6% revenue decrease.
But the good news is sensors demand is up all time by 40% which is due to high demand of image sensors in smartphone units.
IMHO one reason could be the Sony Kumamoto Fab after April 2016 Earthquake
Sony also announces a realignment of its business segments. All image sensor R&D teams, including CineAlta sensors, are moved into Semiconductor group.
