One thing I don't understand is that everyone talks about cost savings with DSLRs and yet (mostly) they make deskjet prints. I, generally, don't do prints but I fail to see how that can be cheaper unless people are mostly not printing. Especially as most people seem to want to print, when they do, at 10x12" or so. > > I recognize that the equation is very different for an amateur.
