Here is how the D30 economics work for me: Figuring $9 to $14 per roll of slide film plus processing in the US, (or $25 to $39 for 100 frames), I'm getting darn close to the break- even point of 10250 to 16000 frames. (I'm at 10500 frames at this point.) I bought my D30 in the last week of march 2001 - that's just about 10 months ago. I pretty sure that pro photographers take a lot more photographs than I do.
My calculation doesn't even try to take into account the costs for scanning and cleaning up slides on the computer - the D30 is a BIG time- saver here! As for prints, those Olympus P-400 8x10 prints (scanned from a slide) beat a Type-R print directly from slide hands down - both in sharpness and price (~ $2 per print).
