Fujifilm raises camera prices as memory chip costs surge
Source: The Next Web
Semiconductor supply constraints are now directly taxing consumer hardware prices across categories. Fujifilm's €500 hikes on camera bodies represent a shift from absorbing costs to passing them to customers as DRAM scarcity persists. This pricing move signals that manufacturers have exhausted supply chain flexibility and inventory buffers. Other imaging companies will likely follow. Used cameras and older models become more competitive alternatives as new pricing rises.
