    1. Not surprised, but it is unfortunate. I wonder how long they will be able to meet the turnaround times they promise for CPS members. There may be a lot of people sending their equipment in for routine maintenance right about now, since we won't be needing them for sports, events, weddings, etc.
    2. And once Virginia shuts down, Canon Factory Service turns into an equipment black hole. I currently have a C500 MKII in for repair and I’m getting the sense that won’t be getting it back for the foreseeable future. I was told all of the equipment in for repair from CA and NJ was being shipped to Virginia. At this rate, will anybody still be at the Virginia facility to accept the equipment when it arrives?

      Basically, my suggestion is that nobody should be sending equipment in for repair right now.

      Right. If its used for emergency purposes (The list varies by state, but its long), then I'd send it in and identify why it needs priority. Medical, law enforcement, military and news reporting are generally considered to be approved reasons to operate, there are a ton of others, power, fuel, its a long long list.

      Sure, if you are using your camera for news reporting then you can still go to work, maybe. But the Canon facilities are not open. Nobody is there to fix your camera no matter how badly you need it. Maybe Canon will manage to get some type of skeleton crew approved if Virginia shuts down, but it is a risky bet.

      Nikon is totally shut down.

      There are a zillion if's, we will have to see which ones happen.
