Might as well go direct to digital then.
I don't know about digital.  Depends on what he's doing . . . numbers of 
images at one time and print sizes.  Digital isn't the answer for 
*everything* yet.  I've crunched the numbers.  Systems that seriously 
*equal* 35mm film capabilities require a horrendous amount of money.  One 
can buy an entire medium format system: bodies, lenses, film backs, etc. 
for the same price.

And that's just the camera...you'll more than double that by the time you have a computer to fully support the system and a printer that is capable of making a decent quality print larger than a snapshot.
