Before we gave our kids digital P&S cameras, they would
carry single-use cameras on family vacations.  The cost of
the film, processing and printing added-up to about $10
for every 27 exposures.  It was easy to spend $60 on
snapshots.

Now that they carry digital P&S cameras (with rechargeable
batteries, of course), the cost of vacation photography is
under $10 for the few dozen prints they make at Costco.

I've already recovered the initial cost of the cameras,
as well, and the kids use the bundled software without
complaint.
