Sony has announced a long list, covering pretty much every product type they make, that will see an average 14% price hike coming on February 1st. The company cites a range of factors, including the cost of raw materials, manufacturing and distribution – all “external environment” issues beyond their control – as the cause for the price increase.

The company lists is Bravia TVs, Blu-Ray players and recorders, sound bars, home theatre systems, and more, including “digital single-lens camera, digital single-lens camera α [E-mount] lens, digital video camera, digital still camera, professional camcorders”. Fortunately, for the rest of the world, it seems that the price increases may be limited to sales within Japan for now, although this may expand into other regions at some point.

Nikon Japan announces increased pricing for several products and “open pricing” for most lenses

This is a bit of an odd announcement. Well, partially odd. Nikon Japan has introduced new price revisions for a number of accessories with “open pricing” for the majority of Nikon Nikkor lenses. The announcement comes with Nikon saying pretty much what everybody has been saying since the start of the pandemic. It’s a result of the ongoing global silicon shortage and the increased costs of raw materials.

The list of products for which prices are going up seems to be limited to a handful of accessories and a couple of Coolshot laser rangefinders. But what’s particularly interesting and a little bit unusual is the second list. It contains a very large list of Nikon Nikkor lenses for both the company’s Z mount mirrorless and F mount DSLR camera systems. These lenses are shifting over to an “open pricing” system, letting retailers put whatever price on them they want. But can’t they already do that?

Buckle up film shooters because things are about to get a whole lot more expensive. Or at least, they will if you insist on using Kodak film. And you live in Japan. According to National Photo in Japan, both 35mm and 120 films will see a price increase by as much as 40% in some instances.

The price increase is set for January 16th, and as Digital Camera World puts it, even though the increases are happening in Japan, it’s highly likely they will roll out similarly in the rest of the world.

The prices of pretty much everything have skyrocketed over the past few months, at least here in Europe. So, it’s no surprise that electronics are about to get a price increase as well. This time, it’s Leica – and it’s the company’s third price increase over the last year.

According to some reports, the famous camera company is about to increase prices by up to $400. While this price increase applies to Europe, it’s expected that Leica will adjust the prices in other parts of the world, too.

This is how much the Canon EOS R3 costs in different countries around the world

Because I’m based in the UK, every time a new camera is released, I always hear “It costs so much more in the UK than it does in the USA!” But how true is that claim? Is it just that the US price doesn’t include tax and the UK price does? Or is it really that much more expensive in the UK?

Well, camera price comparison website Nukeni decided to take a look at the new Canon EOS R3 to see what its suggested retail prices were like around the world. They scoured Canon websites in 166 countries and found prices for 26 of them. For countries where tax was not included, they added it, to see how things really stack up.
