Digital BW, The Print

You all do know that you can buy a digicam for about the same as a film cam now--or less (not talking SLR--but small 35mm one).  Kodak and other 'known' names have quite basic, more than adequate for 8 x 10 prints and under digitals out there for $100 and there are many for quite a bit less--and you can buy a 128 MB SD or CF card for them for under $25.  You don't even have to have a computer--just pull the card and take it to the local drugstore kiosk and choose your pics, have them developed for 26 cents a copy.  When you check the digital photo forums you find people from all over the world--Europe, Asia, South America, etc.  I do think that's what you are saying, but just reiterating it.  

Also---there are LCDs out there for $200 (I was checking out the Samsung $800 model someone mentioned on this list and found the inexpensive ones that 'look' fine to the average computer user).  Most of the local computer stores just really have no CRTs in stock at all.  No one wants them (except us poor beleagured photographers LOL).

  Steve: Exactly I was being low on the price side, I not saying digital 
  the best or film is all I am saying is digital has open up a whole new 
  ball game as far as the mom and pop taking photos of the babies. With 
  digital I can shoot look picture looks crappy I reshoot get rid of old 
  picture. cant do that with fim. film has to be developed. In the 
  developing countries they want what is the new and best as they see it.  
  The 4 dollar development fee is for the majority of the people who 
  are'nt looking to have fine art prints, they just want some 4x6 or 5x7 
  amd maybe a few 8 x10 of junior playing football or the missies doing 
  her thing in school.  Digital gives them that way, shoot go home print 
  be done. or take to local photo shop in the store down the week put in 
  chip pick what you want print for 30 cents american. its the wave that 
  the third world will be doing.  And as far as LCD go in todays they have 
  several LCD on sale for the low cost of 199 to 299 15" and 17" no longer 
  more expensive than a CRT.   Anthony
