Nikon price increases coming to Northern Europe on April 1st

By [NR] admin | Published: February 1, 2022


Just like Canon, Nikon will increase their price in Northern Europe on April 1st. I am not sure about the extent of the upcoming price increase but given the current economic situation (inflation, increased shipping costs, chips shortages, COVID, etc.) I think it is fair to assume that the price increase will hit all regions (maybe some sooner and others later).

Two weeks ago I reported how the Nikon D500 was listed as discontinued and is out of stock at many major retailers around the world and now the APS-C DSLR camera is already officially listed as discontinued (“old product”) on the official Nikon Japan website:



Amazon still has a few Nikon D500 listings (mainly grey market and refurbished).

This is just another nail in the DSLR coffin and I guess the D850 will be next. Nikon Japan currently lists only 4 DSLR cameras on their website: D6, D850, D780, and the D7500 (regional Nikon websites may vary based on their inventory).
