Savings on film/processing by going digital will vary with many factors. Here's a very simplified calculation.
Cost per film: NOK 115,- (Provia F: NOK 65,- and Processing: NOK 50,-) Given the ballpark price of *istD or Canon 10D around NOK 18000,- one needs to shoot around 160 films to break even. If you shoot more than that per year, I'd say it's a go. I shoot around 50 rolls per year, which gives 3 years to break even. Given the rate at which the technology still improves, I'd say it makes sense to hold on for at least another year. Unless my consume of film change drastically. jostein ----------------------------- Pictures at: http://oksne.net ----------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Studdert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2003 7:17 AM Subject: Re: *ist D is bloody small! > On 8 Aug 2003 at 9:57, T Rittenhouse wrote: > > > OK, Cotty, I will bite.
