    Both Canon and Nikon are going to have to raise prices by 24 to 49% ! This will only apply to customers in the USA.
    Since most of their manufacturing is in Japan, and Vietnam, and China the tariffs will be steep. Cameras in stock now and other equipment like lenses, camera bags and tripods are all going to really jump.
    IF you are thinking of buying camera gear, then get it TOMORROW. Items in stock will not be subject to the tariffs.

    Note: Canon or Nikon could get around the tariff by manufacturing here in America. To do that would require building a separate factory here and that could not possibly be done in under 4 years.

    Japan hourly wage is around 7.50 per hour. 6.50 in China, and $28.50 in the USA.

    Those cameras are going to be very expensive if made in America.

    They won’t be though, because Canon and Nikon know the tariffs will be gone in 4 years.
    Also, they sell cameras globally, and they are not going to build a special factory in America. We are just are not that big of a country.

    China, India? Yes.

    EU? Maybe.

    All that trouble for the USA?

    Nope.

    The result of this is camera folks like me will pay more or delay their purchases. This will hurt great companies that employ Americans like B and H and Adorama, and even Amazon.

    Pro photographer Tony Northrop goes into detail on this on his YouTube channel.
    Note: looking at a new Samsung TV?
    Yea, tomorrow.
    I’m hearing iPhones may be over 3000 dollars.

          This is what happens when you got a Nut Job as President

          President Trump issued a new ultimatum to China to rescind its retaliatory tariffs on the United States, or face additional tariffs of 50 percent beginning Wednesday.

            Updated on: April 9, 2025 / 6:43 PM EDT / CBS Baltimore The wife of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, joined lawmakers in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to demand his return to the United States.

            Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and advocates are seeking answers and accountability from the Trump administration over the erroneous deportation.

            "Kilmar, if you can hear me, I'm still fighting for you," Vasquez Sura said. "Your brother, your mother, our children are still fighting for you. We're not going to give up hope."

              Jeez, the trumpy regime are a bunch of triggered snowflakes.
              Imagine being so soft you can't handle a tiny bit of criticism.

              In late March, Vance argued Denmark had 'not done a good job' for Greenland, saying it failed to spend enough on security during his visit to the Danish territory.

                          Trump promised to improve the economy on Day 1. Americans are still waiting. Nearing Trump's 100th day in office, economy isn't getting better for most, with tariffs, stock market convulsions and high grocery bills

                            Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours at least 53 times - CNN.
                            He began to promote this thesis most actively in 2024, when the presidential election was to take place. Thus, in January last year, he spoke about ending the war in 24 hours 6 times, in February and March - twice, in May, June and July - 4 times, in August, September and October - three times

                              Your right talking PEACE and a conclusion to the war is a bad thing .
