We're a small economy with a large per capita income.<BR/>From my perspective it feels like riding a very rough sea in a very small boat; we're at the mercy of the global conjunctures no matter what we do. As a result, people here are also losing jobs. The banks here also sit on their money. In particular, they are holding back from lending money to people starting new businesses. Which is very sad for those who would like to have a go at creating their own job.<BR/>But on the whole, our little rocking boat is floating yet. We're much less worse-off than many others, thanks to that black, sticky, much-in-demand commodity we can suck out of the continental shelf off our shores.<BR/><BR/>Jostein,<BR/>in NorwayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562861494130475668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-68411071902491168192009-02-07T07:42:00.000-08:002009-02-07T07:42:00.000-08:00While being in the field, I survey what brand is o...While being in the field, I survey what brand is out there, most is Canon followed clodely by Nikon then Pentax. In the last year I have seen only 1 Olympus and 2 Sony. My ballpark figure is about 400 cameras surveyed. As for the economy, well no one listen when I said it was going to happen that way about 7 or 8 years ago. Too late. I work for an American company and I am based in Canada, we are doing much better, we are still affected but not as much. We are uncertain as what is going and how it is going to happen. Now the problem is that rest of the world is being affected, that's what dangereous. Time will tell, meanwhile let's go out there and shoot, well with the camera. Have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
