Digital cameras without a home computer
I was very surprised the first time I came across a guy with a digital camera and no home computer.
An elderly man was standing at the counter in a photo store, and had just bought a memory card for his camera. For this particular photo store, this was not problematic. Most likely the owner will help the man burn CD’s with his photos. The bigger chains will usually charge a set fee for that service, though.
A growing trend in Norway, is that people who don’t have a computer still buy digital cameras.
They save on buying film, and can choose which photos they want to print, so it makes some sense. Home printing is less common these days. Real photographic prints are cheaper than inkjet printouts, and virtually every photo store provide that service.
And for those who still want to keep the negatives so to speak - all it takes is a neighbor or friend with a computer and a CD burner, and the digital files can be archived.
Some DVD players have a JPEG viewer function, so it’s possible to use those CD’s at home even without a computer.
