On the subject of portraits, though, I've seen a mall portrait photographer
set up with a backdrop, flash+umbrella, and an E-10 on a tripod to take the
shots.. some sort of nice printer to produce output, and voila, people can
get reasonably nice-looking portraits done in 5 minutes or so.
I don't know how this basic principle extends -- I know that the portrait
studio at Sears here we went to for some family shots (cheap Xmas deal)
certainly uses digital cameras of some sort, but I'd guess they're pretty
high-end.
(and the folks who live next door to where I grew up that do motorsports
photography are now using digital cameras because it makes it quicker to
sell the images on -- not sure exactly what they're using, but the cost was
in the many many thousands of pounds.. http://www.bothwellphotographic.com/)

That has been a staple at "City Walk" at Universal Studios in North
Hollywood since at least the original Jurassic Park movie. They take
your picture digitally and "photoshop" it into a frame from your
favorite movie or the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. Then they
print it frame it and exchange it for your money. You have to give
back the Star Trek uniform. All in less than 30 minutes. The only
back drop is a blue screen, and a digital film file.
