Basically, it is just a transparency (negative) scanner. But one that takes
the Advantix cartidge and does its work inside the box. But you still have to
have the cartridge developed *first*.
So you are not getting away from that developing cost. :-(
The good thing, is the scans should be pretty good - since it uses the nice,
clean negatives in the Advantix canister instead of a finger-smudged,
dust-laden print.
Downside is, I bet that film-drive scanner costs a *lot*. At least similar
devices I have seen from Minolta and Nikon sure do.
