I got a Kodak C340 5.1 mp camera and a printer doc for Christmas. The paper and thermal cartridges cost over 50 cents per print. However, calculate that with film, developing and printing, it works out to about the same. Except now I only print the pictures I want.
BTW....I still like the pictures from my Canon 35mm cameras better. However, like the CD replacing LP, it's kind of neat with the instant gratification of having 4x6 prints almost right away without the need of shooting an entire roll of film.
