Nope, no Walgreen, CVS Pharmacy or Sam's. I've used London Drugs and always find they overexpose/color correct when I'd rather they wouldn't.
I'm doing a test now, I've ordered prints from 4 or 5 places online and will let you know the results!

Up until now, I've used Winkflash (the CND version) and been happy with the quality. The 4x6 prints are .24 CND and $2.65 flat for shipping.
Their customer service is annoying me though so I'm looking around for someone else. Not a fan of any local ones, like Wal-mart.
Must have matte prints and ship to Canada. Cheap enlargements is a bonus.
Any suggestions/recommendations?

I have a digital SLR that uses Nikon lenses that are interchangable with a film camera. Wonder how that will work. I can't see them eliminating lenses that are compatible with SLR's as the market is booming for digi SLR's - plus they are quite a bit more expensive than point and shoots, so more money in their pocket.

I have to say, while I'm strictly a digital SLR girl, I do miss that anticipation of getting home and getting your pictures developed. Kind of like your trip is over but there is still something to look forward to. Seeing it instantly takes away that thrill!

LOL Too funny, Doug. But DOM is strictly a film kind of girl, believe me I've tried to convert her!

You will find that alot of the point and shoot ones will but I don't know of any of the digi SLR's that do. I know for sure that the Nikon D70 doesn't, as I have it.
Honestly though, your pictures will look alot better if you just continue to do it on the computer as you can adjust the contrast etc. I had a point and shoot and took some B+W's with it and the results were pretty flat looking.

The beauty about the new digital SLR's is that they also have automatic features. I have the Nikon D70 and LOVE it. You can manually set it but it also has a dial with auto settings. It has portrait, night, scenery, macro etc. all you have to do is turn the dial to the right one and click away. When I really need to make sure I get a great shot, I try setting it up manually then also take it on one of the auto settings to make sure one or the other turns out. You can also see what the camera would use for a shot like that from what it uses on the auto settings. The beauty is that you will never outgrow one. I've added extra lenses and that sort of thing and it's always a new experience. It's a big chunk to pay but it's well worth it in the end. If you do get one, both Ging and I highly recommend getting a SLR backpack. It looks like a regular backpack only will fit all your gear on the bottom. The top is just like a regular backpack and can store whatever. I think this is the one I have (or something similar, I forget what the name of the backpack style I have is): www.lowepro.com/Products/Backpacks/allWeather/Mini_Trekker_AW.aspxI think the two top contenders for a digital SLR, in my opinion, are the Nikon D70 and the Canon Rebel. Check the both out. I like the Nikon better, to me the Rebel feels a bit light which is weird for me. Kim

It all depends on which digital SLR you get. I have the Nikon D70 and the kit (lens and body) was about $1700.

You know what I would do if you are going to do this? Get the prints and negatives and mail them separately. That way, if one or the other gets lost - at least you still have something.

We noticed that too but saw a few people ask and basically they were able to give their CD to the person working there who did something where they could access it.
It was only ever at the bigger places we saw this though, not the small little cafes.
I personally would just take a bunch of cards as well as that's what I'm use to and I'd rather burn the CD's myself at home as I'm a photo freak and don't trust people with my photography stuff!

They won't let you load anything on to the computers, like programs but accessing pictures from a CD is usually no big deal - especially if you had the CD burnt from them.

I waited as at the time I was using a film camera.
If you get them burnt on to a CD, you will be able to take them to an internet cafe and send them that way.
Or, what I would do is get an account with someone like Imageevent (see Our Photo Gallery button above) and just upload them to an online photo album that your friends and family can check. It's just I don't know what kind of camera you have but I have a digital SLR which takes massive photographs and the images you have on your CD won't be resized.
I know using Imageevent it automatically sizes them when it uploads them so if they are massive, it doesn't matter.
People can also leave you comments on your pictures, which would be fun for you to go back and read.

Yep, you will be able to do this. In fact, before you erase the pictures off your card, I definately suggest making sure that everything is there.
