according to Digital SLR mag there RRPs on cameras have seen a 30% increase in the last year, apparently Olympus & Nikon confirm this and although Canon didnt the price from Jan 09 to the price Jan 2010 shows it.

so can anyone remember the RRP of for eg a 1ds mk3 Jan 09? cos apparently the rrp in Jan 2010 was 1k more....:shrug:
 
Due to the economic mess we are in (Thanks Gordon) exchange rates and plummeted against the yen, so we have to pay more pounds to give the japs, the same yen.

The price rises were well documented and discussed at the time of each major increase.
 
Pricing memory for my pc, it's way more expensive than it was when I built it 2 years back.

whiteflyer, the whole world is in the poo not just us, I'm not a labour fan but you can't lay the blame at Gordon Browns door.

I can blame Gordon for selling our gold at half it's value, I can blame him for buying bank shares a £1.30 on the same day the stock market sold them for 95 pence, and I can blame him for borrowing money every year there has been a labour government, even in the good years when money was rolling in to the treasury he still borrowed more.

I can blame him for spending millions upon millions on government radio and TV advertising campaigns without any way to check if these are having any effect.

I can blame him for saying there was no more money for English university student in the same month he gave £400 million to Africa to help students there get an education.
 
Well yeah but.. apart from that what have the Romans ever done for us?
 
:agree:

The price tracker of lenses on http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk is worth a look - for example the Canon EF 1.4x teleconverter was 190 quid 16 months ago, and is now 260 quid.

Of course you can. All you need to do is stick your fingers in your ears and go 'LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa' anytime somebody points out that the whole of Eurpoe and the US are in a similar hole. And that the hole was dug by those people who gave a wunch of bankers free rein to screw anybody and everybody.
 
Actually I think bankers are getting a bit of a raw deal.

When they were lending money willy nilly it was fine, because people were keeping the economy going by buying things for the new house they had purchased. People spent money on stuff other people were making and the world was rosie.

A lot of folk are forgetting the Britain's economy was fuelled by consumer spending, and where did they get the money from, yes they borrowed it form those crazy bankers. If the banks had been more conservative in their lending our economy would have gone down the pan a long long time ago.

Don't get me wrong the banks did some stupid things like 125% mortgages, but it was the public that wanted the money and wanted to borrow more and more, the banks did not force anyone to borrow money they could not pay back, the bank were just not regulated enough by the man in charge, now who would that be ??????

Well, reading reviews on Amazon reveals much the same thing.:thinking:

Part of the blame we find our economy in can actually be placed quite firmly at the feet of Mrs Thatcher,she and her government of the day tore British industry to ribbons,to simply make the rich richer and now we have just about no manufacturing industry left to rely on.Placing blame for the World wide monetary collapse on Gordon Brown is a tadd unfair. I remember the last tory government,my redundancy (twice) high interest rates,high unemployment and huge swathing cuts across the public sector.The way I see it GB is at least doing something to try and get the country out of this mire,rather than sitting back,doing nothing and letting it take a longer more painful course ( the option Kenneth Clarke has said we should have taken by the way)
