lol yeah inshaala, the cost is different, but not very much ! ..
have a look :
digital
i bought a 20d + sigma 18-55 DC -> +-2000€ (2600$ ?) + 2 lexar 1gb (160€ 200$ ?)
-----> about 2800$ + a computer with a good screen( like my imac G5 20" at 1900€ 2300$ ?) + a very good printer A4 (150$) or A3 (>1000$)
total : from 5000$ to >6000$ (A3 printer) (don't hesitate to correct the dollar conversion of course)
..oops i forgot : you need photoshop (800€) or the gimp (free)
classic
i bought a leica R4s2 + summicron 50mm > 600€ (800$ ?)
i need some basic labo hardware ->600€ (800$ ?)
i need film -> agfa apx 100 iso (excellent) 2.1€/36views (développing one negative cost 80€cents +-1$)
total : from 1300€ (1500$ ?) to .....
Of course, many of us have a computer & printer yet, so we don't take it the tco
This is not for or against classic or digital !!!!! It's just to say that the cost is not always what we think.
