Well I guess for me the biggest surprise in 2015 is the fact that the biggest surprise in 2015 is rise of the low cost Asian cameras.
We've been talking about the feature parity, increased capability, quality, compatibility and low cost of Chinese offerings for years, haven't we?

To what extend are our trade agreements to blame is the real for this surprise? We have a client with a location in Brazil, and buying the items in the US, and shipping them to their location resulted in a 60+% tariff, plus taxes on all items based on local MSRP pricing of the items.
The bigger scam is that Asian Distributors are shipping volumes of items to the US, with the participation of the recipient, as evaluation or gift items, avoiding all tariffs.
While I'm not an isolationist. However, I do believe they need to index the tariffs based upon the trade imbalances, and with some adjustments for the economic size of the countries. I also think places like EBAY with these pseudo gift / trial imports is a good place to start investigating... My .02 on that...
