For anyone interested in shooting 35mm film and is a Costco member ...
You can get film processed and scanned to CD for about $5/roll -- you end up with a digital image about the same size/resolution as from a 6MP camera and archival media backup for about 30 cents/frame (assuming film costs about $2/24-exposure roll). The most expensive part of shooting film is getting prints of every shot, as most people typically do.
With a digital camera, by the time you pay for hard disk space and backup media, I figure it's currently costing between 10-20 cents per frame anyway.
Plus, you then have a choice of printing from the negative or digital file, and you have the image backed-up in a second format which requires no electronics to "read" ... : ) |
