20-25% Nikon price increase in Scandinavia


A reader informed me that Nikon introduced a 20-25% price increase in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway).

I am not aware of other price increases, but if you have any information, you contact me here or comment on this post.

Nikon had several recent price increases in Japan.

Update:

“It seems to be some strange things going on. It started with one of the biggest resellers, Scandinavian Photo, raised the prices of several Nikon products. Some of theme seemed as errors and was corrected. Then nikon.se made some price changes shortly followed by Cyberphoto (another big reseller). But a couple of days later they lowered the prices again, so did also Scandinavian Photo. The biggest Nikon store in Stockholm, Kameradoktorn, have the same prices they have had since spring. But all of this “back and forte” maybe are a indication of a upcoming increase?”

More Nikon Zf camera rumors

 
 
It seems that Nikon did have an event with Nikon Pro dealers in Europe on August 2nd to present the new Zf camera according to this post on dpreview (see my post here):

“The intro of the Zf was done on August 2nd at pro Nikon dealers this week. They had to sign a NDA but some things are clear now:

  • will be shipped this year
  • will be available, as body and combo with lens: no new lens will be launched however for this camera.
  • not a stacked sensor: 25-ish Mpxl: it will be a NEW sensor, so no Z6ii sensor.
  • the body feels extremely well in the hand and the quality impression is top-notch, much better than Zfc”

This makes sense – we had a similar situation with the Z8 a few months ago. When I receive a specific date for a new product presentation, I often do not know if this is a close door event or the official announcement to the public.

Here are the latest/updated rumored Nikon Zf camera specifications – the only update is actually the sensor, everything else was already reported before:
