The upside of digital is that your film costs decrease rather dramatically, and while not the ideal way to do it, one can shoot jpegs and just use commercially available photo labs. Even most of the department store labs such as Wal-Mart can do a decent job of printing digital, often better than they print film, especially since optical printing is pretty much no longer available.
