Assume you shoot a wedding a week - Assume you were paying an absolute
minimum of $300 per wedding for film and processing - and that assumes black
and white only. That is $15,600 per year that you are SAVING by going
digital. So that means you have either increased your take by $15,600 per
year, or, if you're smart, you'll use that money to update and replace and
add to your equipment as you need to - and want to ;-) - without ever again
having to dip into what you have always figured what your "profit" to pay
for equipment.

From a financial standpoint, making the switch is a non-brainer. So from a
pro's standpoint, it all comes down to whether digital can produce the
quality you and your clients demand.

Still shooting film. ;-)
