Link: Fujifilm is raising the prices of its cameras again

Fujifilm is set to increase prices for its products in the U.S. starting August 30th. This follows a recent price hike where camera costs rose by up to $800.

The upcoming adjustments are due to "volatile market conditions" as stated by the company. Specific details on the scale and scope of the price changes are still unclear.

Notably, the price increase will not affect the newly released X half and X-E5 models. These are currently priced at $850 and $1,699 respectively.

This pricing strategy follows a new trade agreement between the U.S. and Japan, imposing a 15% tariff on Japanese imports. This has likely influenced Fujifilm's decision.

Fujifilm aims to collaborate closely with retailers and consumers to mitigate the impact of these market fluctuations. The company expressed its commitment to supporting its customer base through these changes.
