According to one photographer I have been friends with for many years, one of his corporate clients has ordered four digit figures of Olympus E-3 cameras, to replace the E-1 and E-300s they currently have, for their commercial photography staffers, who number in the several hundreds of people. It's anecdotal information, but I'd call that "a lot".
As I said, Nikon and Canon are the most highly visible part of the community. They're in sports, photojournalism, news, and a lot of other highly visible markets, they have large number of name photographers. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of other photographers out there. Godfrey On Oct 17, 2007, at 8:28 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > What's "a lot?"
