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.

Canon also has to think about fixed costs though, it's not a matter of just producing and selling fewer units.  More unit sales will contribute to fixed costs.
