10/7 To the photo development guy below. Yes, where you develop makes
a difference, but it is relatively minute compared to the camera
you use. The difference between a good camera and a bad camera is
a lot more noticeable than a good/bad development place. My
suggestion is to get a SLR camera and compare it with a PnS camera
and you'll see what I mean.
\_ Oh, I wasn't at all saying that the camera quality isn't
important. I agree 100%. I was simply providing correct
information about the development and printing process side.
To get the truly best quality, you need both a good camera and
Kodak equipment and materials, and knowing how to take pictures
never hurt either. :-)
\_ why are you assuming that I have a crappy PnS? - OP below
\_ To put this in soda geek's terms, Kodak vs Fuji development
is like Dell vs Gateway (I am not saying which one is
better, just as an example). You'd get much better results
by buying a faster CPU, more memory, faster HD, etc. ie,
getting a better camera, a decent SLR, a better lens, and
learn something about photography. All these things will
make your picture look a lot better than trying to squeeze
the 1-2% difference between the $15000 Kodak and Fuji
machines using your $200 digicams.
\_ what if you have a 5-6mp camera and just want the best
quality to show off your 5-6mp pictures?
\_ $15000? Heh, more like $500,000 for the top end stuff. Ignore
me, I'm just moody and twittish today. ;-)
\_ what if camera is a 6mp camera? Which processing service
appears to be the best?
\_ you have too much money.
\_ If you take good enough pictures so that it would matter,
you probably already have (should have?) your own photo
social circle, either in real life or on some photo site. |
