I can't help but wonder though, how many people would shoot more if they
knew how easy digital can be. Costco will burn a cd of your images for
under 3 bucks and make 4x6 prints at .19 cents each. Granted, going
digital to me means a computer, an Epson printer and PS but not everyone
needs that...my folks bought a digital Canon A80 in December; my dad has
done more shooting in 3 months than he's done in his entire life.
