Despite the rise of home photo printers – and their subsequent price drop – the trend in digital photo printing is shifting from the home to retail locations. And we’d guess that’s much to the relief of places like Wal-Mart, CVS and the like.
“While one-third of digital camera owners never print, over 10% print every image they keep,” noted Chris Chute, senior analyst.
Research wonks IDC, the number-crunching sibling of NW, also notes the following:
- The mean number of digital images captured per month is 75.
- 14% of total digital camera owner respondents capture more than 100 images per month.
15% of total respondents never delete any images, while 6% delete all their images.
Wait, who in their right mind would never delete any image – even bad ones? Oh, we know.
