Hi Bob I don't know where you live in Canada,but some FHCs have a new system and it's great. You can download an image from a film to a CD,a floppy,or E mail it to yourself and print it out at home or file it. We still have a printer which prints out the frame that you want,like you we have to transfer the film to the printer,but at the end of this month we're getting the new system. I live in Brampton Ont. , Etobicoke in Mississauga Ont has the new system. I've tried the digital method but the results were not as good as the printer. I used a Kodak DX3215 with 1.3 Megapixels. One gentleman even had a litle jig set up to hold the camera. OH !and turn off the flash if you're going to attempt it. I imagine the better the camera ( more pixels) the better,probably at least 3 Megapixels for greater resolution.
