Nikon, Canon, Sony and Panasonic price increases coming to Canada on April 1st
In case you missed my post on NikonRumors from few days ago: a price increase is coming to Canada on April 1st, 2016 (not a joke) on all major camera manufacturers, including Nikon, Canon, Sony and Panasonic. The reason for the price increase is the decline of the Canadian Dollar:
With that in mind, we would like to advise our customers that on April 1, 2016, price increases due to currency value will be in effect from most of our major camera partners, including Nikon, Canon, Sony and Panasonic. They will apply to a majority of goods from these brands. Price increases are expected to range from 10-30%, possibly even higher. These increases will be reflected across ALL Canadian retail outlets selling photographic equipment, not Henry's alone. We feel that it's important to keep you up-to-date on industry developments and help you make the most informed purchase decisions possible. And, as always, you can shop with us with confidence because our Price Match Policy means that we will match any lower advertised price from any other Authorized Canadian Retailer. (via Henry's)
