In September, I reported on the upcoming price increases for OM System and Panasonic products, and it appears that the rumors were true again (see previous reports). I have a hard time finding exactly what products were impacted and by how much, but here is the AI recap (check the Panasonic Lumix and OM System stores):

“Panasonic implemented a price increase for Lumix cameras and lenses in the US on September 28, 2025, primarily in response to escalating tariffs on imports from China and other affected regions (where much of their manufacturing occurs). This follows similar hikes by competitors like Canon, Sony, Nikon, and Fujifilm earlier in the year. The adjustment aims to offset costs while keeping the overall impact below 1% on profits, according to Panasonic’s fiscal reports. Specific percentage increases vary by product (typically 5-15% based on prior tariff-related adjustments), but exact figures for this round have not been publicly detailed beyond announcements urging pre-hike purchases. The increase applies broadly to the Lumix lineup, including full-frame S-series, Micro Four Thirds G-series, and compact models.”

New OM System and Panasonic Lumix price increases are coming to the US as a result of the Trump’s tariffs:

  • OM System price increase coming in early October

If you are planning on purchasing new gear, now would be a good time to do so, since I expect more price increases to be coming in the coming weeks/months:


At the same time, new Sofortrabatt & Cashback programs are starting in Europe (no OM System and Panasonic Lumix rebates available in the US):

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.
  • Camera Sales:
    • 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%.
