Reminder: second Nikon USA price increase coming in a few days (September 1st)


Reminder: The second Nikon USA price increase is scheduled for September 1, 2025, as a result of the Trump tariff. For some cameras and lenses, this will be the second price increase in less than 3 months (the last Nikon price increase was on June 23).

If you are planning to buy any Nikon gear before the price increase, consider doing so from one of our sponsors:

The Nikon rebates for August are also expiring – some of the items that will get a price increase are currently on sale:

Nikon US rebates for July, Nikon EU rebates expire soon

Here is the list of Nikon cameras and lenses that will get a price increase in a few days (all other accessories, like adapters, flashes, filters, cases, cables, lens hoods, batteries, battery grips, memory cards, etc., will also go up in price):

Next Nikon announcement is rumored for September 10th (Nikon Zr video-oriented camera?)


Nikon is rumored to have another new product announcement on or around September 10th, possibly for the rumored Nikon Zr video-oriented camera (R for RED) with RED tech inside (not a new RED camera with Z-mount – we already got that). As I already reported, the new model will be based on the Nikon Z6 III (same sensor), but the camera body will have a completely new video-oriented design (no EVF): brick-shaped with a very large LCD screen and without pentaprism and EVF – a combination of the current RED models design, the Sony FX3, and the Nikon Z30 cameras.

I also expect a new silver Nikon Zf camera, but I think it will be announed later this year (after the Nikon Zr):

What to expect next from Nikon?
