We discussed tariffs back in April , and yes, it seems to be happening now.  Most items seemed to have increased around $200-$400, but the oddest had to be the EOS-R3 which increased from $3999 to $5399. Canon USA's Store showed the new price increases on cameras and lenses on June 22, 2025.  It would logically be the first store in the USA that would reflect new ...]]>Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:53:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-usa-increases-priceshttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-strategy-conference-2024 Canon released its annual shareholders' report, which is a more in-depth look into Canon's financials.  Canon's year-end financials were out on January 30th of this year, and the outlook was exceptionally positive.    Another site looked at a report that was over a month old, and I have to admit, I skipped the strategy conference this year, so let's go back to March while we wait for Canon to release their first quarter results in a few days' time. I should look at more than just imaging, ...]]>Sun, 20 Apr 2025 02:55:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-strategy-conference-2024https://www.canonnews.com/canon-usa-at-nab-2025 Canon is once again exhibiting at NAB, and while there don't seem to be any new cinema products, new enhancements to Canon's huge DIGISUPER lenses will allow the 122 and 111 field box lenses to have a shallower depth of field. Canon will also showcase its suite of control units and capabilities for remote cameras used for broadcasting, probably with an eye on the FIFA games in 2026.

The tariffs are 24% on any goods originating from Japan. These tariffs are expected to go into place on April 9th, 2025, barring any intervention by the US Government. However, we have seen tariffs being proposed and then later delayed or canceled repeatedly for the last two months, so anything is possible. Significant market losses could influence the US government's tariff decisions. A tariff ...]]>Thu, 03 Apr 2025 01:16:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/usa-tariffs-may-affect-canon-cameras-and-japanese-camera-equipmenthttps://www.canonnews.com/a-canon-ae-1-digital-in-our-future During CP+, Phototrend France sat down with Canon and discussed what was happening in terms of Canon.  There's a lot to talk about in this article as many different subjects were discussed, so this will end up being more than one article as we unpack everything.  But first, I want to talk about the digital AE or digital FD camera ie: the retro camera.  Many of us have wanted a camera from our distant FD past, and it sounds like Canon is finally giving it some serious consideration.  This ...]]>Tue, 18 Mar 2025 01:00:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/a-canon-ae-1-digital-in-our-futurehttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-offers-some-clarity-on-dslr-production-18 In the Q&A session of the quarterly financials, Canon was asked about the current market and also their plans for single lens reflex cameras.  In the past Canon has stated that they will continue to manufacture SLR cameras for the foreseeable future, however, Nikkei Asia reported earlier this month that Canon has plans to discontinue all production of DSLRs in a few year’s time. Canon was asked; Q: What is your outlook for the camera market going forward?

What has gained the most notice is that they expect to have the same lens growth per year as they have in 2020-21 until 2026 (Around 8 new lenses per year).  Canon when the EF mount was first announced released a dizzying amount of new lenses, so Canon doing this for the RF mount isn't a real surprise.  That surprisingly to some, doesn't really ...]]>Tue, 08 Mar 2022 21:32:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/canon-takes-aim-at-1-in-mirrorless-8https://www.canonnews.com/canons-number-1-sort-of-9 This is an interesting post by Canon USA .  Just recently Sony press released a press release stating they were #1 in a dizzying list of areas for North America.  Confusingly Sony also refers to their internal research which states it is the US only (so some of the stats may have ignored Canada), even though everything else seems to be North America.
