Overview
- Sony Japan said it has stopped taking new orders from dealers and customers for CFexpress Type A and Type B cards and for SDXC/SDHC Tough cards.
- The company attributed the move to a global shortage of memory chips that has tightened supply for consumer storage products.
- Reporters link the squeeze to surging AI demand for NAND flash used in enterprise SSDs, which pulls supply away from camera cards.
- Sony said it will track supply conditions and issue a separate notice when it can resume orders.
- Retail checks show many of the affected cards still in stock, though prices could rise if the pause continues and inventory thins.
