omar Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 As I was surfing through BH photo and a certain price increase caught my eye: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/855962-REG/Canon_EOS_1D_C_EOS_1D_C_4K_Cinema.html is this really true? It was $4500 just a couple of days ago. I'm so confused right now. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugela Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Their profits were down, apparently due to strengthening of the yen according to them. That means that they have to increase prices outside of Japan to get profits back up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I have noticed most of the prices go up in the whole of Europe. In Greece, the country with the most financial problems, a6300 ia still near 1500€, and most of the products I follow are 10-30% higher than the rest of EU countries. Also, the starting value of most cameras are scandalously lower in the US than Europe, when you see a 1499$ camera being 1699€ in Europe (closer to 2000$ than 1500$) then it makes you wonder what is going wrong in the world right now!

Once canon drops prices they never bring them back up. And if they do bring it back up they never bring it up that high. It's a shocker for me.

IronFilm Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It is an old camera, maybe they're finally nearly run out of inventory? That would fully explain the price increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yeah I'm sure it's just that the sale was over. Or it was supply and demand. They sold a bunch more at that lower price, so the demand was higher... Raise the price. Econ 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kino Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Canon will typically impose minimum inventory/stock numbers on dealers when approving of any camera price drop. This means B&H had a certain number of 1DCs to sell at that price, as the minimum they would have to take from Canon would be something like 10 units at the very least for such a popular store. Once they sold out, the price went back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Harper Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Could this also mean more future updates for the 1dc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogtown Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I saw an automated add, you know how they pop up these days while your checking your Facebook page, and it was from B&H saying Canon 1DC on sale this coming Friday $4,999 It may have been a little cheaper, I can't find that add anywhere today? This was yesterday October 30th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
