But you would have to factor in the price of the film and developing!  For 
anybody who uses more than a few hundred rolls a year, digital will save 
enough to pay for all of the bits and pieces.  I saved enough to pay for my 
Canon 1DMII the first two months I had it, but then I would have used and 
processed over 300 rolls of film in those two months.
