Sometimes I miss the suprise seeing pictures after they are developed, but in general the digital is much better. Cute story about this topic. One of my grand daughters has downes syndrome, she will be 21 in February, loves to take pictures. Used to buy loads of the toss cameras and rolls of film for her. Also had to replace cameras more often, she so enjoyed sharing her snap shots. Now with a digital..well it isn't unusual for her to take 20+ photos a day! Her mom just goes thru the camera to screen her shots....prints really cool ones and posts some to facebook. Of course she takes pictures of some very weird stuff also. Any way point is that digital has opened a whole new world for her and saved the family many dollars in the process.
