I'm sorry to be negative 2 emails in a row, but I cannot see how
digitals can be worthwhile buying at present. The small cheap ones
are, well, small and cheap; they lack storage and quality as you
imply. The more sophisticated ones still lack the quality that their
prices warrant (or vice versa). And they are all obsolescent as you
walk out of the shop door with them.
I accept that Tom and Mickey have found a use for their E10s or 20s,
but it would gall me to buy something for over £1000 sterling (in
this country) only for it to be superseded and worthless within 6-8
months. That is one reason that I have a Mac: it remains usable for
longer than its Intel (et al) based counterpart.

I think they are extensively used for local family/friend gatherings and
outings, when the computer is available soon after. Digital pix are much
cheaper than film.
Family photos are also more distributed by email than trip photos.
