Trader,

A real life example.

My son turned 5 yesterday.

I took about 80 digital pictures in the course of 2 hours
during his birthday party. Of those I deleted about a third
because they were out of focus, poorly framed or composed.

Of the remaining 50 or 60 I deleted another dozen or so that
were duplicates. Of the remaining I will place about 30 of them
on a webpage for friends and family. I hope to do that today.
There are 3 or 4 pictures with red eye that I still need to correct.
My wife is sending out thank you notes for the gifts. I plan
to print one photo of each kid to send along.

Like Craig does I take a 7 1/2" x 11" inch page and cut it into
fourths to save on paper costs. If people want a whole set of prints
they can easily order them from the PhotoPoint site or just call
me and ask for a few more paper copies.

I figure that if I had used my old camera I would have easily shot
3 twenty-four exposure rolls, plus developing (two sets of prints)
and mailed out copies to each kid's parents. I would not bother
to scan in all the photos to put on the website, so I guess I would
probably break down and order extra photo CD's for each roll.

I figure with all the costs added in the standard film route
would have probably paid for another 32MB CompactFlash card
and would have been much less immediate and less convenient.

PS, my kids love the desktop slideshow. Can't think of how many
photo albums I am still behind from my analog days.

NOW I AM OFF TO CHURCH TO PRAY FOR A BETTER WEEK COMING UP!
