There is no need to upgrade. I have been using the same camera for years. Personally I had a computer already, incremental cost zero. The only thing I bought was a photo quality printer. Less than top quality enlarger and lenses. Consumables have been less than ciba paper and chemicals. Frank

How much did he pay for the digital camera? How much for the new computer? How much for the new printer? How much for the fancy inks and spiffy paper? And what about the need to upgrade every six months or so? Film is cheap and film processing is cheap. Digital is EXPENSIVE and really inconvenient.Marc msmall@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cha robh bàs fir gun ghràs fir! --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
