Photographers are clamoring for the S5 II to such a degree that Panasonic says it won't have enough cameras to meet pre-order demand.

A new report from the World Silver Survey found that demand for silver increased 19% last year achieving its highest levels since 2015. Part of this increase is being attributed to the rising demand and surging popularity of film.

The global silicon shortage has resulted in a lack of supply across the electronics industry and the camera industry has been particularly hard hit. A new report alleges that the problem may be worse than some realize.

Nikon has issued a third apology over the low stock of the Nikon Z fc camera, but does end on a positive note as it also has said that the previously delayed special edition 28mm f/2.8 kit will become available in October.

Nikon has announced that while it intends to begin shipping Nikon Z fc cameras on schedule starting July 23, it does not have the supply to meet all demand. Additionally, overwhelming numbers of orders for the 28mm f/2.8 special edition kit have forced the company to delay it indefinitely.

Nikon Japan has issued a notice stating that demand for the newly announced Z fc camera currently outpace the company's production capability. Those who have pre-ordered the camera are likely going to have to wait "some time" before they receive it.

Sony semiconductor simply can't keep up with the soaring demand for its mobile image sensors. In a recent interview, head of Sony's semiconductor unit Terushi Shimizu revealed that the company is struggling to keep up, despite running its factories 24 hours per day over the holidays for the second year running.

Sony's image sensor business has seen meteoric growth in recent times, but it seems that things are now cooling down. The company just reported its earnings for its latest quarter, and things aren't looking as rosy as they were before: Sony reports a "significant" decrease in image sensor sales.
