The point I am making Marc is that your prices are wildly out. You could go
digital for much less than you seem to believe.
The prices are no longer exorbitant, particularly for printers (which you can
do without anyway).
Bob was around rather a lot of digital generations ago for his then opinions to
have any validity now.
I am not expecting to ever need to upgrade any of my digital cameras again.
