Hi LUG's:
I work doing product shots and fashion, and now I use a digital camera for
all this. The cost:

Camera Kodak 6 megapixels $7,000.00
Power Book G4    $1,500.00
CD Burner $200.00
Photoshop 6   $150.00 the upgrade
I do not count my lenses because for commercial work I have been using the
Nikon System, so I already have them.
CD's are very cheap, so I do not count them.

Total $8,850.00 And if I take into account that in a few months my gear will
be old, but usable, you know digital is expensive.
But, you save in film (Slide and polaroids), developing and you can see the
result right there and must important, you can deliver your work in a very
short period of time, sometimes a few minutes after the session is a wrap.

For my personal use I still go for the M6 and tri x
