But tariffs apply at import point not at the retail

Expand  

It’s paid by the importer and then passed directly on to the consumer, though fixed costs such as handling and transport fees after the port of entry mean that the calculation isn’t always a straight addition to the current retail price as those costs don’t include any additional increase.

The original $4995 is now $6595.

If they’d added the whole 34% directly on (which is on top of an existing 20% by the way) then it would be $6693.

The reason for it not being that much is that fixed costs such as US based handling and transportation charges do not carry the tariff.

Same as I said about the UC12k, it's big and heavy, and eats batteries. Used Alexa classics are so cheap, I'd rephrase and say that I'd get a Pyxis over an Alexa because cost isn't an issue.

Think you mentioned the C500 II... on B&H Deal Zone today for $4999.

IMO, most of these tariffs are going to be dropped. There's no way Republicans are going to accept the consequences of them because they would be so severe- basically they're embargos with no replacement products available. China will eat them alive. For other countries, the smartest way forward is to simply ride the wave. The bad solution is to get suckered into a deal with him, empowering him and his brand of corruption. Temporarily close operations in the US. Start new trade partnerships ASAP to survive. Apparently, no one can beat him, except himself.

As for the camera market, I think many will be ok with a few exceptions. All I can imagine is that (IF the tariffs remain) it will be status quo for 4 years. Investment will probably halt until it gets sorted out. Clearly, the USA is not the attractive market anymore as insanity is just a president away.
