What? What would make you print EVERYTHING? Maybe doubles too? I just develop the roll (C41), it costs $2.50 for 36 exposures, accross the street, takes 20 minutes. Then I decide what I scan and keep/print. > Plus you'll probably take better shots with > the DSLR, since you can instantly delete the stinkers and can try > again after having instant feedback as to how the shots turn out. There's no such thing as instant feedback. Unless you walk around with 22 inch monitor up your sleeve. > *Plus* the DSLR will save you a huge amount on scanning or buying a > scanner, since the images will already be digital. *HUGE* amount is $1300 for the absolute top of the line desktop scanner that will beat crap out anything digital has to offer. Have you seen a 30MP camera for $1300 lately? Or how about half of that? Besides, A year after I bought it, it is still pretty far from being obsolete... > They're not the > perfect solution for some people, but they're not as bad as you're > making them out to be. It is useful instrument for professionals, and a cool toy for the rest. > chris Mishka HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
