I would argue that you do not save money by going digital.  Factor in the
cost of the computer equipment and a good digital camera for starters.
Then have a look at film and flatbed scanners, storage media, color
printers, upgrading computer hardware every five years at least, and ...
you get the point.  There is no justification in going digital if your sole
objective is to try to minimize film and lab processing costs.
