Cost of Each Picture

lerico

almost $0, I think the money i get from taking pictures should be able to recoupe the cost of my 2 bodies.

well, not counting lights and lenses of coz, but those things have a much longer useful life than bodies.

Well, if you only take pictures for leisure this maths may work for you. But if you use your camera for business, you should calculate how much you earn for each shot la!

She may not realize until I die... ha ha ha.

Nah... Lik... just joking jeh... I mean if you enjoy every shot you take, then it worths the money la.

The initial investment may be bigger, but once you accumulated enough then it's a matter of swapping with a little bit of lost everytime.  Compare to other 'male' interest, such as watches, car, audio, etc... they are small amount... ha ha.

for my old fujifilm clearance camera which i bought for about $90
which i used for about a year now

all the photos that i like from this camera have been posted on the loyaukee forum,
let me say there are about 50, so the cost for each pic l like to keep is about
$2

  now the old fujifilm camera has been completely wriiten off, i hope there are
still uses for it

for the average digital camera hobbyist , let us say he upgrades his camera every 2 years, each new one costs $500 , and he sold it after 2 years  for $200
the the total cost of all the photos he take in 2 years is about 300 dollars

it is not easy to determine how many photos ( the ones one wants to keep
for ever ) the average camera users collects in one year
