William, The story is true. The couple is very well to do and her husband wanted her to use the best P&S. How he determined that, I don't know. The lab owner said that she was afraid to tell him how much per roll they were spending. Even after explaining that she could reuse the cards, she really had no clue how or what to do. I suspect that now she is just erasing the card after getting the prints.
