I receive their emails for their "still imaging" products because my company is a dealer for their "motion imaging" product line. We use their hand-held, shoulder-mount, and PTZ video cameras for our projects and our rep gives us access to their photography products as we have so many photographers in our company.
This is copied from their email blast:
-----------------------------------
Hello All,
Canon has always strived to provide our partners with the best products at the best prices, but due to the current economic conditions around the world our cost of business is being severely impacted.
As a result of the economic struggles and fluctuating exchange rates, Canon USA is forced to take action on the pricing of most EF Lenses and Speedlites, effective February 1, 2011. The changes we are making on Invoice and MSRP pricing is effecting all partners across the board and will assist Canon in continuing to grow our brand and imaging business for not only ourselves, but for you the dealer as well.
-----------------------------------
I also received their pricelist, but for obvious reasons cannot post or reveal dealer pricing. I can, however, say that most items are going up by anywhere from 3-10%. Some items go up significantly - for instance, the 50mm f/1.4. MSRP goes from $580 to $640. I can't imagine I'd get into any trouble letting people know as I'm sure all the dealers will be using this to promote sales... if you have specific questions, PM me and I'll look into any specifics for you.
