Article Summary

From cameras to photo-sharing Web sites to snapshot printers, here's a consumer's guide to today's staggering array of choices.

Life used to be so simple. Back in the days of film cameras, all an amateur photographer had to do was take a few snapshots, drop the roll off at the developers, and wait and see what he or she got.
