Keep in mind you have the option of getting rid of all your poor photographs. For me this is significant! I may have (on a good day) 2 exposures out of 36 I think are worth keeping, yet I have to process the whole roll (and wait) to find those good ones. With a digital camera I can shoot and shoot all day and dump everything on my (already paid for) Mac, and either keep 'me or not. My last trip coast me $150 in processing and I kept a very small percentage of the results.
