There are other reasons to change to a DSLR. But money isn't one of

1 roll a week??
I was shooting an average of 1 roll a day, and that's not
outlandish by
any stretch.
My pre-digital annual film and negative processing for the decade
from 1992 to 2002 averages $1800 per year, or a little over 180 rolls
per year at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Going all digital capture has meant I put more
money into capital equipment and less into consumables.
