Sony stopped production of its ZV-E10 vlogging camera on December 3rd due to the ongoing chip shortage. Interested buyers should keep an eye on the camera's product page, as a restart of production and sales will depend on the status of parts supply.
The ZV-1 vlogging camera was released as a more capable follow-up, thanks to the option to change the lens. It's essentially a reworked A6100 model with a flip-out display, no electronic viewfinder, a high-quality built-in three-capsule microphone and a button that makes it easy to switch from video to still photography.
The A7 II, A6400, and A6100 cameras have been paused. It's hard to see a pattern in the A7 II and the other two models.
Sony products are also affected by the shortages. Sony may be in danger of missing its delivery target of over 14 million consoles by March 2022, as it has reduced PS5 production. Sony and TSMC recently announced that they'd team up on a chip factory in Japan for specialized chips used in cars, cameras and other gadgets. The plant won't be online until 2024, so it won't help Sony or anyone else.
