That's your perception. Now look at the person who shot a roll of film, took it wherever and came out an hour later (having done something else in the meantime) with a handful of 6x4s, a proportion of which they would throw away. Will they want to sit in front of a computer sorting stuff out to get their prints? Don't think so. It works for you but it doesn't work very well for me and it works very badly for some people - I suggest that they are the majority of camera users. "There is no debate"? You been drinking out of someone else's cup? 8-) > On Nov 13, 2006, at 5:18 AM, mike wilson wrote: > > > > >> > >> From: Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> Date: 2006/11/12 Sun PM 10:38:36 GMT > >> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > >> Subject: Re: Best SD card for K10D > >> > >> I consider my system modest, but I have approximately one terabyte of > >> hard disk space, and I'm going to add another 500 gigabytes soon. > >> I've also backed up 600 gigabytes of photo files on DVD.
