Are you saying that 35MM pictures from Longs Drug Store will look just like pictures from present day digital cameras ?

The paradigm for developing photos is being rewritten, Larry. Digital photography allows much more flexibility for those with an artistic bent and a willingness to experiment with software designed for photo manipulation and touch-ups. The trend is actually toward on-line archiving like the account at PhotoPoint.com that I have linked here. It plays into the notion of a "value chain" that is talked about in Geoffrey Moore's Gorilla Game treatise. Here is something I did for the enjoyment of The Thread. It is a SanDisk card that has been private labelled by Siemens. I took a photo on macromode, cut it out of the image and created the following...

Soon you will also have the option of bringing in your flash memory cards to your local photo developer and having prints made directly from the card while you wait. You can be very selective in which photos you want reproduced and can delete everything but the "keepers".

My recommendation to SanDisk is to start an campaign that encourages the public to buy multiple CompactFlash cards...one for shooting, one for back-up and one to leave at the photo developers while you are out shooting more pictures. This gives an attachment rate of [3:1].
