Must be a positive recommendation by an investment firm. As to the popularity of digital cameras, many people are buying the cameras and using commercial photofinishing facilities for prints. In the Washington, DC area, where my info comes from, people are using MotoFoto stores to get 4x6 prints on photo paper, with the same one-hour service they are accustomed to with conventional film processing. Prices for the prints are comparable to those for conventional prints, but the difference is that there is no need to buy film or pay for film processing--a saving of about $8 or more per 36 photos. In addition, since the users can see the image before it is printed, they can pick and choose, thereby saving additional costs for unwanted prints.
