Sony Firewire Discontinuation Update

On a conference call today with Ilias Levis, Sony Electronics, Inc. (VIP), Product Manager, the following information was updated for Aegis Electronic Group, Inc.

DFW-SX910- proposed replacement XCD-SX90CR
DFW-X710- proposed replacement XCD-SX90CR
XCD-SX910, proposed replacement XCD-SX90
XCD-SX910CR- proposed replacement XCD-SX90CR
XCD-SX910UV- no replacement
XCD-V50- proposed replacement XCD-V60
XCD-V50CR- proposed replacement XCD-V60CR
XCD-X710- proposed replacement XCD-SX90
XCD-X710CR - proposed replacement XCD-SX90CR
(The above information is all released as "Preliminary")

Ilias suggested that the replacement for the DFW color cameras would the XCD-SX90CR version. The new XCD-SX90CR cameras offer software that will more than compensate for the DFW's DSP color processing. All the new cameras will use the VCT-701 mounting bracket, which is the standard mount for most of Sony's cameras.

Ilias was quick to point out that these new cameras have many new features that were not available on the older models and the new software will definitely provide new potential opportunities for new designs.
