On this occasion I totally agree with SfB. I pretty much stopped taking photographs because I just couldn't afford the processing costs, and I had absolutely no means for doing it myself. The beauty of digital is that I can now take loads of pictures, and if only a percentage of them are worth keeping, well so what? The cost is effectively zero, memory is unbelievably cheap now, so going to a gig, for example, and shooting a couple of hundred pics is not unusual. How much would the processing cost for that lot, only to find that there are perhaps twenty good ones? I can chuck the rest away, they have no costs involved, and it also means I can play around with various effects on my phone, and if something works, send it straight to Flikr and Facebook direct from the phone. Hopefully the 4G iPhone will up the pixel count again, but the 2Mp of my 3G produces perfectly good snapshots; I had to Photoshop pics from digital cameras for print when they were less than 1Mp, and a big memory card was around 128Mb. The jpeg artifacting had to be seen to be believed, and the first pro Nikon DSLR was only 2Mp. Dammit, my first digital camera, a Coolpix 5200, 5Mp cost me £800 in 2003, and the 1Gb CF card for it cost £200! You can get a 16Gb SDHC for less than £20, now. The costs for someone like me, with relatively limited funds, are so liberating, just being able to snap pics of anything and just play, like with the camera app. Love it to bits.
