Revive the Sony Action Camera!


Revive the Sony Action Camera!
The Issue
In the late 2010s and early 2020s, Sony discontinued many of its most sucessful cameras and camcorders, including the entire Sony Action Cam Lineup and the Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30, Sony also discontinued all parts and accesories for the discontinued cameras so that no one can get replacement parts for these cameras anymore. This poor decision by Sony hurts many people not only as these cameras are not outdated by any means, but as they can no longer purchase an affordable, high quality camcorder, or replace their broken camcorder with an identical replacement. This petition aims to notify Sony to bring back all of their recently discontinued cameras including the entire Sony Action Camera Lineup from 2012-2021, back into production so that people can continue to purchase Sony's legendary cameras of the 2010s, but at a lower and more economical price, this will ensure that Sony can also get some profit from this decision, a win-win for everyone!
If Sony decides to bring the discontinued cameras back to production, it will allow consumers to continue to use the cameras they know and love for years to come as well as get replacement parts for their camera. The younger generation will also be able to purchase an economical, high quality camcorder that is reliable and is built to last for years, and is accessible to everyone. If things remain the same, the cost of digital cameras will continue to increase significantly as the only good options will be expensive smartphones and DSLR cameras.
The importance of immediate action to revive Sony's discontinued cameras ensures that they can be revived quickly because over time, the engineers that initally designed these cameras will retire and move on in life. Without them still working at Sony, it will be harder for Sony to get the cameras back into production. Knowledge is also lost as the hard drives storing the CAD files and schematics of the discontinued cameras can fail or be discarded in some way, causing the knowledge on how to produce the cameras to be lost forever. Immediate action ensures that Sony can get the discontinued cameras back into production for consumers to enjoy, once again.
