Nikon To Raise Camera Prices in the US Because of Tariffs (nikonusa.com)

(Monday May 26, 2025 @11:57PM (msmash) from the no-surprises dept.)


Nikon will raise prices on its cameras and imaging products in the United States starting June 23, citing President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese-made goods as the reason for what the company calls a " [1]necessary price adjustment ." The Japanese camera maker joins a growing list of photography equipment manufacturers implementing price increases, including Canon, Sony, Leica, and lens maker Sigma. Nikon told investors the tariffs could slash its profits by 10 billion yen ($70 million) in the upcoming fiscal year, though the company has not disclosed which specific products will see increases or by how much prices will rise.
