Valid points, but you *can* do this with good labs. Why does everyone always argue that the price of printers, paper and ink need to be factored into comparing digital and film cameras? Do you include the price of a good minilab into the purchase of your film camera? If you don't want to print them yourself, take the files to a good lab and let them do it... just like film. Don's Photo, for example, charges the same for prints from digital files as from film. This isn't a rant against you, Tom, but against those people who criticize digital cameras because of problems with home printing. I'm bitter tonight because I have to mark 50 essays for next week and I'm running out of time... and the store is insanely busy because of Christmas (this is a good thing, though... anyone need a camera? <g>).. and everyone keeps wanting me to go out and do fun stuff, and I'm a sucker for peer pressure and a good rum-and-coke. :) chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
