Nikon has officially confirmed a new wave fo price increases from 1st March on most of its product lines. The increase is the second in less than two months. On 12 January, Nikon had already raised its prices by up to 20%.
'The [new] price increase is due to the relative weakness of Sterling and the continued strength of the Yen,' Nikon explains. 'A range of product groups will be affected however the Coolpix series and selected digital SLRs will not see an increase.
However, more worrying for photographers, is Nikon's aknowledgment that this recent price increase could be the second in a long series. 'Nikon will continue to review its pricing structures,' it says.
