But we're forgetting one point, the cost of prints. Remember that you still need the inkjet printer and the ink and paper, the cost of DIY home prints from digital is still more than you may think. Yes you have the advantage of Printing only what you need/like and deletin the "BAD" shots but isn't photography an "ART" where we need to accept the mistakes and learn from them?
