The prints are a little more expensive, but the interface they have developed is totally worth it. Being incredibly easy to use, the wide array of products, and the superb quality of prints mean we'll be staying with them for the foreseeable future. http://www.shutterfly.com We use Shutterfly almost exclusively.

Great price (.10 4x6 prints) and great shipping (.99 cents fixed) and turn around time has always been great. I've believe they have a special now giving 100 free prints too. The other thing cool about them is you can ask for cd to put your pics on and mail it to them if you prefer (or if you have a lot of 2Meg pics and don't want to wait to upload).

Prior to getting a year's subscription to Phanfare for Christmas this is the site that I used for storing, sharing and printing my photos. I also used Yahoo photos for storing and sharing, but wasn't very happy - but it's easier for my family to see in South Africa. See my post on the podcast page too.

They're $25/yr and they allow you to upload 2 GB of Photos a month. They never delete your photos either! They also have a free service but it's very limited. http://www.flickr.com Dana, I’d recommend Flickr. They’re $25/yr and they allow you to upload 2 GB of Photos a month.

On a local level, it all depends on what kind of printer the store has. For instance, a large scale CVS store in an upscale city might have a really good printer, while a smaller CVS in a small town might have a below average printer. Also, making sure your monitor is calibrated could make all the difference in the world. If your monitor is not calibrated, you are not correctly judging the print. Not that my opinion counts, but I love Mpix. I have found that a test like this is somewhat difficult. On a local level, it all depends on what kind of printer the store has.

These days I do most prints from a Kodak Easyshare printer dock (http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=2251&pq-locale=en_US) that is by far the most convenient system I've tried for making 4x6 prints at home. @Dana: I like the Kodak gallery. I'm sure it depends on your expertise, but it's great for a point and shooter like me. I’ve used the kodak site, and we’re reasonably happy with their quality.

One other thing that is driving me nuts right now is trying to find the best way to share my photos online, especially after upgrading to a dslr. I checked out your phanfare site and I love it, but can't really rationalize the cost since I am such a hobbyist. I would love to find out how you guys organize and share your photos. Forgive me if this has been covered in a previous podcast as I am just jumping on board. This information is valuable to me.

The picture print quality is very good and it's insanely easy to use and replenish. I recommend it to anyone who wants to print snapshots from time to time.
