Just curious, but (in your best guess) how many shots did you take in 2006? I bought my Rebel XT in November 2005, and I noticed yesterday my latest files are around 8700. So I'm guessing I took around 7500 - 7800 pictures in 2006. I don't want to even begin to guess how many of those were good pix, because that might be depressing. :o) So let's hear it!
@ 26shots per roll @ $7.00/roll would have been $3309 in processing w/ film. Thats some savings.
Which explains why the economics of the film/picture industry got so tossed up... this would be known as a disruptive technology for the old line film companies (makers, processors, etc...).
In my 2006 Folder, w/112 sub-folders: Started at file number 5,751, rolled over the numbers once and ended with 6,154.
Grand total of 10,402 for 2006, keeping 7,634 of them.
approximately :)
Less (about 90%) than I averaged in recent years. Ask me how many times I raised the viewfinder to my eye and didn,t press the shutter button.
With a 16MP camera, I don't blame you. I know hard drives are getting cheaper by the day, but firing away like Rambo could get tedious with your camera. I could stand doing that myself--more editing BEFORE I go "click".
An interesting question. Much less than in 2005, that's for sure. the actual count is about 2,050 for 2006. I do have to say that my "keeper percentage" is so much higher it's not even funny, so that number is somewhat misleading. Still, I do need to get myself out the door and shoot more.
