Or were you referring to how it feels? > >> I had the opportunity to try out and view some 8 1/2 X 11 color prints >> from the Canon Rebel with the $100 18-55mm lens. The whole deal >> costs $999. I was blown away with the quality and depth of the photos >> from such a cheap outfit. It's only expensive if you don't take any photos. I don't know what it costs you all to develop film, but for me it was about $20 for a roll of slide film and processing. And let's say $10 for a roll of B&W and processing (if I do it myself and consider my time to be free). So if I shoot: 2 rolls of B&W a week: $1040 1 roll of Chrome a week: $1040 You've made back the price of your camera in six months. But I know that there are probably people on this list who shoot a lot less than three rolls a week. So if you only shoot one roll of b&w a month ... It will take you two years before your digital canon is free. I think that's a pretty cheap camera.
