Of course. No one, to my knowledge, has claimed that prints are free. However, you no longer have to worry about film and d&p costs if you feel like shooting several hundred photos in a day. If you bring them enough images on a CD, local pro labs charge anywhere from 20-30 cents CAN per 4x5/4x6 print from a digital file. At this price digital is much cheaper than film plus good developing, especially since you can pick and choose which shots to print. chris
