All you see is Leica, Trimble, very rarely Topcon. Calculators in use are mainly hp48 and hp42, lately hp50 or hp35s. Leica is not regarded unaffordable at all. Trimble is apparently instrument of choice for one-man-party. Field books both flavours are long forgotten in the area I live and operate. Can be different elsewhere though.

R; Here, if you think there is any chance of getting sued, you book everything. It's not that a field book is less prone to error. It's certainly not faster or less prone to transposing digits. It's that graphite or ink on paper is more easily explained than data files to a judge. The U.S., and California in particular, is a very litigious society. Land is worth enough to attract the sharks. The choice of using third party data collectors may be local. -db

Oh, I completely forgot about that. It used to be like this here, but to my observations it faded away with the release of Leica 1100 series instruments. Apparently electronic booking is just as good.
Cheers,
