Re: "Production running at only 25% capacity"

I'm not an optimist, the inability the have the basic EF-RF adapters on the market for months now, doesn't bode well for the new camera's backorders being fulfilled anytime soon. I truly do believe we could be looking at massive delays. I do believe November is a little bit far out even for the supply issues, but October isn't a stretch in my mind.

I'm dealing with another company's presale from late May, and they only got 15% of their promised units shipped on time. Worse yet, they are a Chinese company that is having trouble shipping what they do have to the various countries they do business with. Their shipping costs are running significantly higher, day by day, so they are holding inventory to try and find another vendor or shipment method. Couple that to a shortage of parts from various vendors and they are fighting problems on multiple fronts.  I suspect Canon is also stuck in a quagmire with multiple issues to address.
