I repeat, you DON'T have to buy a digital camera!
Before I got one last year, I used services (mainly Photoworks but also Kodak sometimes) that put your photos on a website when they developed and printed the film. (You can then download the digital photos from the website to your computer if you wish.) Photoworks did this for NO extra fee! I used this method for a couple of years (2000-2002). If you still use a film camera and want to have your photos online, this is the way to do it!
