Canon shares dip after it lowers its earnings forecast

[kiwigav]

I did think the Canon predictions for sales for this year were a bit high at 27% after a great year of 30% last year:

Shares in the Japanese camera and office equipment maker Canon fall after the firm cuts its earnings forecast.

They might do better if some prices fell instead... Some of the new lenses are eye-wateringly expensive.

Not interested in Canon shares, only interested in Canon products and prices.
Will this affect the price or availabilty? doubt it.

Only mentioned it as noticed the forecast in the latest EOS magazine so thought maybe of interest to some.

It should change their marketing strategy and maybe even prices.

That said I have a feeling they've got very high hopes on the Canon M Series to pick up a lot of the slack, and they'll wait and see what that does for their sales.

Woolley, you're not wrong, been a few things I'd like to have picked up, very interested in a Macro lens but out of my price range at the moment.
