SSD Shortage Shrinks Camera Memory Supply

Sony has stopped accepting new orders for nearly its entire CFexpress and SD memory card lines effective March 27, 2026, citing a global semiconductor (memory) shortage. The suspension covers high‑end CFexpress Type A/B cards and a wide range of SD TOUGH and standard cards, leaving only a few low‑end SKUs available in limited channels. — If SSD/NAND shortages persist, they will ripple beyond data centers into creative industries and consumer electronics, shaping product availability, prices, and the competitiveness of device makers and retailers.
