You think so? You need a computer. Were I to buy a dslr, I'd have to upgrade the computer I currently use, buy a much better printer, buy ink cartridges, paper. The hardware upgrades alone would at least double the price of the body. Film's pretty cheap at under $5 a roll. Developing (negs only) is $6 a roll. I only print what turns out (no snide comments! <g>). One of my LX bodies recently cost about $300US. Compare that to a dslr and all the other hidden costs, and I don't think I come out too bad... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
