A couple of days ago, Canon Australia announced that it would be shutting down its online store, essentially ceasing direct sales on the continent. Why? According to Canon, they want to “support local retail partners” by sending customers their way.

The announcement was published on September 1st, and it’s a notice of sorts: on September 30th, the Canon Australia online store will shut down “for the foreseeable future.”

“As a result, we are proudly streamlining our efforts in supporting local retailers to drive competition in the local market and bring you the best value product offers, promotions, services and experiences possible.”

The cynical among us will wonder if this has more to do with cutting costs than “supporting retail partners,” but whatever the reason, it seems Canon AU is doing its best to make this a streamlined process for everyone.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this development moving forward, just in case Canon is planning to roll out this strategy to other regions like Europe and North America

In the meantime, if you live in Australia and want to find out more about these changes and how they will (or won’t) impact you, head over to the Canon AU FAQ page here.
