Band points out that another plus to
digital cameras is that you don't have
to finish a roll of film, or throw away
unused film, to have a picture devel-
oped. The memory card can be down-
loaded onto your home computer,
where you can edit out pictures that
aren't quite as wonderful as they first
seemed, and save only the most special
ones.
Many high-caliber photo-quality
printers are now more affordable for
the home market, allowing you to
print a hard copy of your photos. Or
you can take your memory card to a
photo development store that is set up
to develop memory cards, and they
will print it just like they would

System) film. "We treat it just like
film," notes Band at Ritz Camera.
"Your memory card is returned to you,
and you can save your images, store
them on your computer, or just delete
the images and start again."
Another wonderful advantage to
digital cameras is the ability to e-mail
pictures to friends and family all over
the world, quickly and -easily. "We
don't send out holiday.cards with the
kids' pictures on them, but it's fun to
e-mail pictures of my kids to friends I
only keep up with by e-mail," says
Michele Bleznak of Bloomfield Hills.
Her in-laws travel to Phoenix each
winter, and she keeps them up-to-date
on her three children's progress
through digital photos sent by e-mail.
"Last winter, they sent my daughter
Julia a dress. She put it on, I took a
picture of her in it, and that night, my
in-laws could see her in it over the
computer," marvels Michele. She also
had lots of fun this summer sending
her kids photos in their camp letters.
Her son Adam received a digital cam-
era as a bar mitzvah gift last April, and
while he is still exploring all of its uses,
he is having lots of fun with it, print-
