Well, it seems much space on this list is now being devoted to the "Digital" stuff. As the quality of "Digital" improves so fast it appears the future will be tilted towards digital cameras and printing. On a recent trip overseas I shot approx. 100 rolls of slide film. The cost of film and processing was $1,000. If I send the better prints to a Lab instead of scanning and printing myself the cost difference between the film, processing and printing starts to become a major difference in cost. When I begin to think of the amount of film I shoot during a year it is difficult not to start thinking of a digital camera for some of my work. And the quality from the digital prints are good, in fact, very good. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
