Every now and then I receive requests for information on Sony cameras only to find (after several minutes of grueling research) that they've been discontinued.  For those like myself who run into this problem, here is a list of Sony Visual Imaging camera models that have been discontinued over the last few years.

For those looking for a camera that is found on this list, please don't fret! Chances are there is a "recommended replacement" that was introduced just prior to the preceding camera's discontinuation.

Depending on the camera in question, finding information on its replacement can be relatively easy or can be quite tedious if say, Sony is on the 3rd or 4th generation of that camera line...

(Example shown below from left to right: EVI-D30 -> EVI-D100 ->EVI-D70 -> EVI-HD1).

The Internet is a great source for information if you've got the time and the inclination to search yourself, or if you're pressed for time and just need to know the answer, I am here to help, asking is up to you!
