This is in part due to the hassle of scanning vs. already having the image digitized. Some would see this as the benefit of digital - so much easier to get images in the digital realm. ernie On Friday, January 3, 2003, at 04:46 PM, David Rodgers wrote: > Neil > >>> It seems that photographers are doing what you would expect them to >>> do with digital and shooting hundreds of frames for each shoot where >>> they would have shot dozens before.<< > > Low cost per frame was digital's big draw for me.
