The cynic mode in me says they're trying to force everyone to use digital, because of the higher profit margin. Not least on those awful digital frames - and I've yet to see a print as bad as the best DF display I've seen.

A slightly less cynical version of myself says it's because customers keep complaining about the "washed out" colours in sunset pictures (taken on digital or printed from film using auto white balance

); there may be something in this, almost all digital compacts deliver jpegs which are horribly oversaturated, the cheaper cameras are by and large the worst offenders - and we keep seeing posts on this forum from ex-digital compact users who have upgraded to a consumer DSLR and find the images "flat".
