Blackmagic PYXIS 12K Camera Price Increased by 32% to $6,595 ...
Recently, Blackmagic Design made headlines with the announcement of the Blackmagic PYXIS 12K cinema camera. Initially priced at $4,995 for the US market, the price has now been revised to $6,595 on the manufacturer's website. This 32% increase is a result of new reciprocal tariffs imposed on imported products in the USA.
Price Correction
During the livestream, Blackmagic Design's CEO Grant Petty stated that the camera body, regardless of the selected lens mount, would be available for $4,995. However, the updated price is now listed as $6,595 on the US version of the Blackmagic Design website, reflecting the tariff-induced price adjustment.
Global Price Variations
While the price adjustment affects US consumers, the prices in other countries, like Austria and regions in Europe, remain unchanged. For instance, the PYXIS 12K is still priced at €4,855 plus VAT in Austria, compared to its US price of $6,595. This discrepancy extends to other products such as the PYXIS Pro Handle, with prices varying between regions.
Tariff Effects
The newly imposed tariffs are expected to cause short-term price hikes for imported products in the US market. This increase may also impact products assembled in the US that rely on imported components. The longevity of these tariffs and their broader implications remain uncertain.
Community Response
As consumers evaluate the revised pricing, the debate arises on whether to proceed with pre-orders despite the increased costs or await potential adjustments.
