Hi art,
I don''t know about the major uses of silver so I can't comment but on the part 1 I can.

I bought a Sony mini DV this year (fantastic product by the way, I've used a JVC also and much prefer the SONY but I digress...) As you may know it also can take stills, nowhere near the quality of the real digital still cameras but not bad nonetheless for me. For sending via e-mail great and even as blow ups on the wall (use an Epson Stylus) they are fine. My wife (the shutterbug in family has a Nikon FG something or other that she has 10 million settings for and an auto mode when I need to use it LOL) most of the photos from our recent vacation came from my Sony. It was just simpler and more than adequate. Anyway the upshoot here is that I only print the ones I need and can always get prints made for me. The two downers are: 1) printing consumable costs are brutal (paper and ink) and to store your photos you need mass quantities of disk space or a burner or digital tape for storage.

Art, -- from a digital camera to a printer -- Sorry, I didn't know. Like most people, I normally only snap a role or two a year -- a disposable camera is just fine for that type of use.
