$26.00 per cart. with processing included. Versus $15.00 to $20.00 for the K40.
(film plus processing- what I would pay without the mailers)

I agree that many different cameras have their strong points but the argument is not what the perfect camera is ( if ever that were possible) but what the best is ( all issues taken into consideration. i.e. quality for the money, dependability and longevity, lenses, etc.)
