Storage is cheap for digital photographs!I don’t think that there is anyone out there that will say that the quality of digital photographs has not increased exponentially over the last decade.

From the fuzzy low resolution images that were the domain of a few ambitious pioneers at the turn of the millennium to the crystal clear and razor sharp mega photos of today, the technology's success has become intricately intertwined with that of another key technology:

The continued decline in the cost of storage media has allowed camera engineers to pack more and more digital punch into each photograph.

The cost of storing a quality image in now about a penny. In the year 2000, the cost of film and developing was about 45 cents per photo. And the cost of storage is only going to continue to decline as time goes on!

So look for more megapixels of quality and more gigabytes of storage coming soon to a store near you soon!

And keep shooting!

It's amazing how much less the cost of storage is these days compared to even one year ago. These days we don't have to delete anything to conserve space on hard drives. Soon even laptops will have terabyte hard drives.

Richard, today I was editing photos from my niece's wedding and thinking about how much easier it is these days to get great shots.  I have to start putting more stuff in the trash, though.

True, I just purchased a 500 gig remote for my mac for about $100. I remember when a 1 gig hard drive was over $400. Times have changed...

I have so much room on my hard drive that I don't have to worry about extra storage. I remember when digital camers came out and they were so expensive. A Minolta 1.3 MP was around $350.00. I learned photography old school. Developing my own black and white photos. Times have changed for sure!

Richard, very true.  If we couldn't store the pictures inexpensively it wouldn't be as popular.  Then there's also the added benefit of the delete feature.  Less toxic than the trash can for paper prints.

The only thing I think about is that we are storing all these great photos but are we really looking at them?  Or do they just sit on our data cards unloved?  My kids just love to go through photo albums but rarely want to look at photos that are only stored digitally.

All I can say is "back up" that hard drive.  I always worry that my computer will crash and I might lose my pictures which would be awful!

I went to southern Africa in 1998 and came back to a $600 photo processing bill. Ouch! Next time I'll buy a great new lens with what I'll save....
