Not to be discouraging, but do bear in mind that Michael's a very rich guy.
He's got lots of very nice equipment, and he can afford to buy successive
generations of new digital equipment without worrying about the resale value
of the stuff it's replacing. I'm not saying your conclusions are wrong by
any means, but a conventional darkroom for an 11-year-old looks like pocket
change compared to what Michael's invested.
