I'M NOT YET ONE OF THOSE PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT I THINK YOUR BEST BET IS TO GET A HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL CAMERA. I'M GUESSING IT COSTS MORE TO GET PRINTS ON C.D. AT A HIGHER RES. YOU SHOULD ASK THE PLACE YOU GO TO HOW MUCH MORE IT COSTS. BUT WITH A HIGHER RES. DIGITAL CAMERA MAYBE 4 MEGAPIXELS +, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING THEM DEVELOPED UNTIL YOUR READY FOR THE FINAL PRODUCT. + SCANNING IS LESS THE QUALITY OF AN ACTUAL DIGITAL PICTURE.
actually you dont have to get digital pics developed at all.
as far as 35 mm cameras, i would encourage you to learn how to develop your own flicks in a darkroom, community college classes, or some kind of local class, or hook up with other photographers.
the 1 hour is a rushed process, think about it.
peace...

In regards to getting the best quality from shooting with film I would recommend taking your negatives to a professional developing lab to get your prints. The prices are reasonable & the results are generally a step or two above your 1hr photo processing. Getting your negatives scanned to disk is an option that would really depend on the individual who is doing the work. Check into getting drum scans to get the highest of quality when you want to have your prints scaled up in size. Look at spending a bit of money for the drum scans though.
As for digital photography, you can get away with 3mp if you shoot in TIFF format. TIFF is “lossless” quality so there is no compression when your images record to your memory card/stick. Plus you can get away with enlarging your snapshots while still maintaining the integrity of your photos.
Hope that helps.
