Apples and Oranges

As the saying goes... you can't compare two different things and expect the same result.

Ever wonder why some photographers include, or do not include, Digital Negatives in their packages or why there is a difference in price for the Digital Negative CDs?

Oh wait, let me explain what Digital Negatives are first.

Digital negatives are to a digital camera what film negatives are to a 35mm film camera. Got it?

One reason for the price difference could be that they are not the same in image SIZE. I mean that the image RESOLUTION, which has everything to do with print quality, is not the same. If a photographer sells copies of the files to be viewed through Windows Explorer or some other computer program and never to be printed, that's one thing. But if you are interested in printing, you must have the largest file in image size and quality to create a decent looking print.

Make sure to ask your photographer if the RESOLUTION is high enough for quality printing from the Digital Negatives.

Remember.....Don't buy an apple if you really want an orange.
