[Rhodes22-list] slides vs digital camera

Tue Aug 5 22:51:01 EDT 2003

Most pro's are going digital big time.  Cost savings from no film and
processing for a busy pro can payback a digital camera in less than a year.
For me its the quick turn and the capability of making my own prints.   I
still plan on doing most weddings with film though, mainly because the post
production is so intensive, I'd rather have a wedding lab just do it.
