Canon options

  • Canon can stick to the original plan and hope the numbers are still as predicted. I doubt it (Last financial report had no guidance so plans have changed)
  • Increase the price to cover the drop in units sold.
  • Reduce the price and hope these bargain hunters will also buy RF glass to offset the loss in profit.

Stick to the original pricing plan, accept that fewer units will be sold, and reduce production so you don't have excess inventory.

Covid-19 has already caused them to close production plants (although they have not specified what products those plants were producing), and I suspect that production of the R5 has already been scaled down from what had been previously planned. Certainly Canon Inc will produce the camera at levels "just in time" to match as closely as possible actual sales.
