- Nikon has announced a ‘necessary price adjustment’ for cameras in the United States
- This is happening “due to recent rates,” according to the camera giant
- Price increases will enter into force as of June 23
Nikon officially joins the list of camera manufacturers that are raising camera prices in response, guessed it, US tariffs.
In a brief publication on the Nikon Us Press site, the Chamber Giant said that “due to recent rates” I was planning a “pricing adjustment for products.” Apparently, this will come into force as of June 23, so it is a potentially good time to collect that Nikon camera that has been looking.
We still don’t know what cameras (or lenses) will be affected, but that should be clear in the coming weeks. Nikon offered a small crumb of comfort by stating that “it will carefully monitor any tariff development and can adjust prices as necessary to reflect the evolutionary conditions of the market.”
That could mean an adjustment in the wrong address if commercial wars continue to heat up, but hopefully the changes in the price will not be as harmful as those we have already seen in other manufacturers.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3, for example, has increased from its launch price from $ 500 to $ 800, and has remained at that level despite a 90 -day truce in China’s rates that have temporarily reduced the rate of US imports to 10%.
What other camera price walks have we seen?
Nikon is far from announcing the price increases related to the rate, although not all have yet entered into force.
Canon gave us a similar warning earlier this month by stating in its quarterly gain so -called “notified to the main distributors that we will increase prices and we are in the process of estimating the moment and the amount of the increase.”
This means that we are in a strange waiting period in which cameras fans are preparing for price increases, without knowing exactly what models will be reached and how they could affect the existing actions that are already in the US. UU. (In theory, the latter should not be affected by price increases related to the rate in imports).
As seen by the rumors of Sony Alpha, Sony has apparently increased prices in their cameras and lenses made by China, which include the Sony Rx100 VII and a series of lenses, including the g OSS II macro of Fe 70-200mm F4 (which has seen a price jump of 18%). But we still do not know if these prices are a temporary reaction to current rates or a more permanent walk.
Meanwhile, Fujifilm was forced to stop early orders in the cameras that include the X100VI, GFX100RF and X-M5 (black version), while the new Fujifilm X Half has a high price in the US Australia).
It is clearly a tumultuous moment for cameras and lenses, and although the purchase of panic is never a wise option, if it could be worth squeezing the trigger soon if it is in the US. Uu. And it has been considering buying new nikon or canon.
