So are cameras still being made right now?

I have seen videos about new cameras are near a halt on the production side of things.  What about existing models?  Is Canon, Nikon and Sony plants shut down?

Most probably since the proximity of the workers
on the lines is too close.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Yes, they have suspended production worldwide.....

Why so serious?

Really?  I thought these were built by machines and fancy robots?  How much of the assembly process is actually done by a human?

Humans are still involved. Parts have to go in, products come out.

There are already products in the supply chain. If demand has dropped off, then existing stock will suffice until demand ramps up again. So, shut the factory down for a bit.

Which has nothing to do with cameras, and everything to do with mass production.
