FAOK: Digital Prints

Any of you digital camera users found a decent value Digital Processing
service who'll take my images from CD and put them onto 7*5's matt finish,
white borders.

The cheapest I've come accross for the above is £0.40p per print, which
considering I'm doing 150 prints quite regularly is bloody extautionate.
Bonus Print do Digital 7*5's for about 22p per print, but dont do
Matt/White Border options.

Who/what do you lot use, and what are you paying?

Jessops.
24 Hour service - 7"x5" >40 prints - 20p each. Matt doesn't cost extra.

Dunno about white border option. Why not add the border yourself in
Photoshop? It's easy to do (in PaintShop Pro at least) - although I
appreciate might be a tad tedious doing 150 of them.

I wrote a shell script to batch White borders, but it tends to crash servers
with the higher resolution pictures in large quantities.

Jessops looks good though. (Bloody snappy snaps wanted 75p per print from
me... nearly died!).

I use Photobox online service. For 7X5's they charge 24p per print
for 20+ prints.

You have to post the images to their site but get the photos back in
the post next day.

Chuffed to bits. It's got the same sensor as the 10D just not quite
the same features/buffer. But there's always the Russian firmware
update if you *really* need the features of the 10D.

Sorby's got a 10D. He'll let you know what that's like.

Mines actually a Digital Rebel which I got from Uhmurkha. Same as the
300D bit with a prettier badge. Now, there are better cameras and it
does have it's limits, but for the price, it's a little gem.

I'm pretty much the amateur when it comes to photography but I got
myself a 300D and find it excellent. I'm still in "exploration" mode as
to discovering what it is capable of.

The main thing though is that it is a decent size - I cannot get on with
tiny digital cameras as my hands are so big.

Heh - I'll be torn between [selling it | trading it in] to fund the 1D and
keeping it as capable & trusty backup body!

Irfanview can do this as a batch conversion - piece of piss, it is.
One of the best photo software products around, IMO[1], and freeware
to boot.

Given that you're doing the photography lack professionally, a backup
may be a wise move.

I'll second that. Although I'm not too keen on the ebay search engine
he's put into the latest release.

So far I've kept my film camera (which takes all my pro lenses) as my spare.
But yes, a digital SLR as a backup would be better.

When I get my studio sorted out I'd really like a Hasselblad H1 (medium
format body) & Kodak DCS 645H digital back (16mp !) - but I don't have the
spare £15k just at the moment (or anytime soon!).

Difficult to justify a 10D with the 20D arriving any day now. If offers a
higher pixel count with less noise.

However, the 300D can be had (with 18-55mm lens) from EBuyer (of all places)
for £610. Which is half the price of the 20D (with the same lens).

Pairing the 300D up with a 24-70 F2.8L lens is nicer, though.

The 10D is really great - I've sold my EOS5's now - I'd never go back to
using film. I've two EOS10D's - they are built like tanks - there is a 20D
coming out soon - 8.2 megapixel etc.

If your nifty with (and have access to) Photoshop, it would be trivial to
run a batch job against all the prints and put in your own white border.

So far I've kept my film camera (which takes all my pro lenses) as my spare. But yes, a digital SLR as a backup would be better. When I get my studio sorted out I'd really like a Hasselblad H1 (medium format body) & Kodak DCS 645H digital back (16mp !) - but I don't have the spare £15k just at the moment (or anytime soon!). -- Sorby

Difficult to justify a 10D with the 20D arriving any day now. If offers a higher pixel count with less noise. However, the 300D can be had (with 18-55mm lens) from EBuyer (of all places) for £610. Which is half the price of the 20D (with the same lens). Pairing the 300D up with a 24-70 F2.8L lens is nicer, though. -- Smorgo (Steve Morgan) Hello: '01 VFR 800 FI, '86 V8 110 Goodbye: '01 NT650V E-Mail address is spam-trapped.

I've two EOS10D's - they are built like tanks - there is a 20D coming out soon - 8.2 megapixel etc. -- Regards Craig Cooke www.storm-imaging.co.uk Exciting, Fun, Creative and Informal Digital Wedding & Portrait Photography GSF600S
