Development of Digital Photographs

There are a few threads on the topic of where to develop and the cost. I think they can be found under consumer's corner
You can either pass the smartmedia or memory card to them, or on other storage media such as a CD-R or CD-RW. It might cheaper to put only those pictures you want to print onto the CD-RW or storage media and pass it to them instead of telling them which pictures to select on the storage media.
Just a rough cost, the base charge is about $5, and fuji e-pic charges $0.50 and standard photo charges $0.35 per 4R.

[QOUTE]The $5 base charge is required when you sent the pictures through the internet. However if you bring your photo (CD-R, Zip disk, etc etc) directly to the shop, there is no additional $5. The price for each 4R print from digital is still $0.50 though. [/QUOTE]
Oops, thanks kssim for the clarification, never sent it to fuji b4, only sent it to standard photo. For standard photo, handed the CD-RW to the shop, the $5 still applied, but the pics are $0.35 for each 4R

Just to inform you... They will not be liable to any damage to the media or pictures and they'll have to keep the media till you collect the photos... so you may have to leave your SM with them for a day or two...
Is it a good idea will be up to you... Many people burn into CD-Rs to protect their CF or SM

I've never considered a 1.44mb disk coz with the present resolution for my 2.1 mp cam, i prob can only store 1-2 pics at norm to high resolution on it. Kinda impractical.
I'd rather use a CD-RW as it can be reused many times.. just copy the pictures u want to develop onto it and send it in. In the event that it is damaged, at least it's much cheaper than a CF or SM being spoilt. Less stress over waiting for it to come back safely
Another alternative might be Zip disks, think those should be accepted too.
Just my 0.0001 cents

do the fuji outlets to the processing themselves(ie in the shop) or do they send it for centralised processing? cuz am thinking whether to send it to the small outlet @ my neighbourhood or send it to a larger outlet downtown... cuz my reasoning is tt the downtown ones would have more experienced staff in handling these things...

Sunyee - wonderful idea.
I'll up it - why don't you allow us to send the photos to you by email. Then when it's ready, send it to us ? That way you make only one trip.
Hell, you can make a business out of it - so long if the price is right !!!
Then when you earn enough, simply get a cheap web site and turn it into a full fledged business. I for one will support it - so long if the price is right.
So far the closest competitor should be 99photo, who charges $5 handling and $0.50 per 4R.
Keep us posted dude.
