Your average family doesn't need a $600+ printer, monitor calibration, scanner, tablet device or, really, anything else mentioned here aside from a computer with a USB/Firewire input and basic image viewing software. (Most families buying a digicam probably already have a computer anyway.) For most people, the only cost is a 4MP+ digicam of reputable quality and a couple of storage cards. Still more expensive than a film P&S and processing for most people, but a lot of not-even-amateurs shoot more once they have a decent digital camera.
