Digital is FREE CLICKING? Think again…
Posted by KhoKing on Monday Oct 15, 2007 Under PhotographyMany bought a digital camera and said that it is FREE to Click! Think again…
I have clicked around 7k shutters on my D200 since I first bought it new (many are craps). It costs me RM5.5k for the D200.
If I were to sold it now at RM3.7k, I lost RM1.8k.
RM1.8k divided by 7k clicks, each click costs RM0.26. NOT CHEAP at all! 
I guess I will have to continue clicking it until the cost per click drops to a more “reasonable” value…
