Canon has taken some of the heat out of the issue of comparative pricing of digital imaging products overseas by announcing price cuts on 95 of its products, effective from August 1.

The price cuts range from around 5% to 30% on DSLR, compact and video cameras, and bring Australia more into line with US pricing.

“In the context of generally negative news around the local retail environment, Canon Australia is taking pro-active steps as the market leader to attract consumer attention and contribute to the value that is available locally,” said Canon Consumer Imaging director, Jason McLean.
