Devloping 35mm film into digital pics: SnapFish vs Ofoto vs Shutterfly
Hi
This summer I went to California for a few weeks with my digital camera. After a few days I managed to lose my battery charger and was thus forced to use disposable cameras for the rest of the trip. When I got home I started looking around for a best way to get the pictures on the disposable cameras onto my computer in the highest quality. After I looked around the best [and cheapest] way to do this were using one of three sites: SnapFish, Ofoto, and Shutterfly. Now I have to decide between these three. Has anyone had any experience with them? Which will turn the 35mm film Into the highest quality digital pics? Thanks for the help, Dan p.s. I don't care about getting actual prints, just getting the highest quality computer pics possible |

I don't know about Snapfish and Shutterfly, but Ofoto will NOT give you high resolution digital images. They will develop your film, send you the negatives, and post low resolution images on their website so that you can choose which pictures you want printed. Shutterfly is the same way. I've been quite happy with their print quality for my purposes, however. -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/ |

Many times, you'll be able to find a local shop which can produce what you need without having to send you film through the mail. I've used three such labs here in my area that can develop the film and produce high quality 6Mp scans for less than $10 per roll. If you post your location, you might be able to find a better option. Incidentally, I have not been impressed with the work done by any of the three online houses you mentioned, but I do use printroom.com for some of my digital printing needs. -- Joe Pucillo Baltimore, Maryland USA To reply by email, please remove the .xx |

I live in north NJ. The techs at my local supermarket photo dpt are
not that smart so I doubt they would even know the answer to these questions. Furthermore most places by me do not make photo cds without prints, thus jacking the price up to 11+ dollars per roll (2/3s of that price being for prints I don't want) and since I have about 20-30 cameras and that price can get pretty high (and its all out of my pocket, my parents blaming me for losing the charger).
