Canon Teasing a new Vlogging camera for May 11th

Canon is teasing a new vlog camera for May 11th. Canon already has a patent for a vlog camera. Here are the details.

Canon has recently released a mysterious teaser page on their official website that suggests they will be unveiling new Vlog-related products on May 11, 2023. Although the details of the product remain unknown, the teaser page provides some clues about what we can expect from the new release.

The page features the message “New Possibilities of Vlog” accompanied by a visually striking image that appears to be a camera designed for small and lightweight Vlogs. The shape of the product suggests that it will be housed in a compact body, but beyond that, there is little information to go on. The image hints at a design that is different from conventional compact digital cameras such as the Sony ZV-1. The body is vertically long, resembling a GoPro camera, and it may have a grip-type design suitable for taking selfies.

Sony Released FY2022 Consolidated Financial Results

Sony released their latest FY2022 consolidated financial results. Here is the information related to their camera business:

  • FY22 sales were 2 trillion 476.0 billion yen, mainly due to the impact of foreign exchange rates, despite a decrease in TV sales.
  • Operating income was 179.5 billion yen primarily due to the impact of decreased television sales.
  • For FY23, we expect sales to be 2 trillion 380 billion yen, operating income to be 180 billion yen, and adjusted OIBDA to be 280 billion yen.
  • In FY22, despite the severe business environment, we were able to achieve profit almost in line with the initial plan for the entire segment by strengthening operations and thoroughly controlling costs.
  • As for end-of-fiscal-year inventory, we were able to further narrow down our January plan mainly in televisions, and we were able to finish at a level almost on par with the end of FY21, excluding the impact of exchange rates.
  • In FY23, we anticipate risks such as a more-severe economic slowdown, so we have lowered our sales forecast year-on-year.
    As for operating income, we expect to maintain the level of the previous fiscal year by reducing fixed costs in televisions and
    smartphones, which are experiencing a particularly severe business environment.
  • Demand continues to be trending well for digital cameras, and, primarily through the introduction of competitive products, we plan to maximize profit opportunities.
