Hiee Thomas.......
Actually if one were to make a FINANCIAL STUDY........taking into consideration that you are an amatuer...newbie...
DSLR = Save money is NOT TRUE.
Imagine you are shooting average 4 rolls per month for a year with developing (avg $15) =$720
Add on the cost of a mid-range SLR body = $500
Basic lens totalling up to about $800
This sums up to - $2020
If add another year of film use will be = $2020 + 720 = 2740
This is the cost of a DLSR BODY ONLY!!!!!!!!
In Additon to that....This period of two years....you will have maybe depreciate about $1000 on a DSLR...........?????
Using Digital Camera have actually a higher OVERHEAD cost.....which basically includes...
- memory
- rechargeabale batteries
- a PC to download
- CD writer
- Blank CD's.......the list goes on....
(Ink and photo paper if you print at home)
So al in all......MORE $$$$$$$........
However...if you settle in a mid range-prosumer digicam the cost would be sort of equivalent to a film SLR ....
