Nikon and Sony have already implemented two price increases due to Trump's tariffs:

Second Nikon price increase coming to the US on September 1st as a result of the latest Trump tariffs

Another Sony price increase coming to the US on June 30th?

There is another price increase coming from Fujifilm and Canon on September 1st. The Fujifilm price increase will include Instax and printer products, and maybe even more. I still don't have the details on the Canon price increase. If you are planning to buy any new gear, now would be a good time:

Canon recently warned us in its financial report that more price increases are coming:

Canon’s Q2 financial results are out, impact of tariffs: “we will make up for this by reducing costs and raising prices”

Expect more price increases on photo gear: the new US tariff on imports from Japan is now 15%

New 25% Trump tariffs coming for all products from Japan and South Korea on August 1, 2025

Canon released its Q2 financial results. The Q&A section includes several questions regarding the US-imposed tariffs, and Canon's position is "we will make up for this by reducing costs and raising prices":


Here are the details for the Canon Imagina Business Unit:

  • Imaging Business Unit Performance:
    • Second quarter sales increased by 6.5% year-on-year to ¥260.7 billion.
    • Second quarter income before income taxes decreased by 3.9% year-on-year to ¥40.1 billion due to yen appreciation.
    • First half sales totaled ¥472.8 billion, up 12.5% year-on-year.
    • First half income before income taxes reached ¥72.4 billion, up 27.8% year-on-year.

    • Strong sales of mirrorless cameras, particularly the EOS R5 Mark II (launched in the second half of the previous year).
    • New video-centric models, EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1 (launched in Q2), were well-received by both video and still image users for design, operability, and ease of shooting.
    • EOS R50 V highly valued by video creators; PowerShot V1 popular for high-quality shooting among social media and still image users, leading to higher-than-expected orders.
  • Market Outlook and Strategy:
    • Global camera market expected to remain stable at ~6.6 million units, despite anticipated U.S. demand decline due to tariff-related price increases.
    • Sales growth in Q2 driven by EOS R5 Mark II and EOS/PowerShot V series.
    • Plan to increase full-year camera sales by 6% to 3 million units, focusing on strong Asian markets.
    • Leverage EOS R5 Mark II’s success to boost RF lens sales.
    • Expand PowerShot V1 sales and increase production of existing compact camera models to address back orders.
    • Aim for overall camera sales growth of 5.4%.
