Mornin' Shel You may have a point when it comes to enthusiasts like many on the list. However, for the average consumer digital is becoming easier and easier. For example, a couple of weeks ago I shot some wedding candids. I was able to take my CF card to Wal-Mart, insert it in the Aladdin scanner, pick out the images I wanted printed, and less than an hour later I had 113 4x6 prints in hand for $27.12. That's the equivalent of about 5 24 exposure rolls of film (which is what Joe Sixpack shoots) for less than the cost of film and processing.
