Discontinuing a product decades later is nothing new. Many camera brands have done so in the past, and this could sometimes also result in some products having a higher resale value, such as Leica or Hasselblad cameras. However, it is certainly peculiar if the gear that has been launched recently ends up being discontinued. An example of this is the Sony Airpeak S1 drone, which was launched in 2021. In just four years, Sony’s choice of pulling the plug indicates a distinct market trend.
