Exactly! Digital takes, at least today, far more time to deal with than film, from a point and shoot happy snap prospective. I can bring my happy snaps to the local drug store, and get double set of prints from them, easy. I can bring my digital film cartridge to...well...to...somewhere (yet to be disclosed) and get....hum.
