[QUOTE="panos_adgr, post: 2747, member: 12"] Prices rise like being in a roller coaster. I hear all the time for price increases. Today I was informed that dairy products are expected to rise 30%. Now in hobbies, the last 5 and more years things have changed. All manufacturers try to produce products that are one step different in technology offering all the time even higher prices... In audio for example all the hi-fi hi-end gear is extremely overpriced! Products that used to cost 3000-5000 euros in example today are marketed better and cost 10000+ euros. And I'm talking for products that have the same tech or components like previous models (especially in loudspeakers). The change the exterior (fancier) and raise the price. Same with mirrorless cameras. They got rid of the complex mirror and pentaprism (optical viewfinder), product cost is lowered and prices are risen. And margin skyrockets. And I'm not saying that. It is a fact that can be found in quite a few articles. Compare in example price between lens recipes (formulas) from the dslr era to mirrorless. And don't tell me that they evolved.... Not the lenses. The use a silent motor a couple of boards it aperture mechanism and that's it. Compare the price of a Nikkor AF 14-24mm G to a Nikkor 14-24mm Z. The price difference is BIG! Everybody is shifting in premium product logic with high price/margin and less sales, than low price / small margin to quantity sales. And from the other side consumer products are also more expensive and more 'basic' than before. [/QUOTE]
