Fujifilm is raising camera prices by up to $800

Fujifilm, a major camera manufacturer, has announced significant price increases across its product lineup, with some models seeing hikes of up to $800. The price changes come as the US government threatens to implement new tariffs on imports from China, where some of Fujifilm's cameras are produced. The X100VI, a popular model, has seen its price rise from $1,599 to $1,799, while the X-T5 has gone from $1,699 to $1,899. The high-end GFX100 II has seen an even more substantial increase, going from $7,499 to $8,299. These price adjustments are not limited to Fujifilm; other camera manufacturers, such as Leica and Canon, have also raised their prices in response to the tariff situation. The changes are expected to be permanent, as Fujifilm and other companies seek to offset the increased costs associated with the tariffs. The article suggests that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the implementation and scope of the tariffs may lead to further price revisions in the camera industry in the coming months.
