One thing I noticed at the camera shop was that people print their photos in batches. With film, this wasn't an issue: They'd finish a roll and then get it printed for $6-10, no big deal. But with digital they don't finish a "batch" until the memory card is full. Then they come to the shop and are shocked to see a total of $60, $70 or over $100 because they have so many shots on that card. Even though the cost per print is lower with film, it's a big psychological hurdle to pay it in one lump sum like that! Most didn't want to spend the time standing at out print kiosk going through 200 images and selecting ones to print, and few had the willingness or knowledge of how to do it at home. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
