Printing photos via computer/web/printer costs no more than having prints made at the photofinisher. It costs less in many cases, presuming a minimum level of competent computer/printer equipment (which you already have, it seems). Whether you want to spend more to get more out of a digital camera is up to you.
For my use, a digital camera's reusable storage media has cost me far less than was I was paying for film, processing C41, and B&W processing chemistry. And proves a HUGE savings in time. But again, it's completely up to you to manage what you want to spend and at what level you want to do photography. Photography has always been an expensive endeavor. If you let it become a financial black hole, don't blame the technology. ;-) Godfrey On Sep 25, 2007, at 6:40 PM, Glen Tortorella wrote: > Good commentary, Godfrey. Have you read Rebekah's remarks?
