With my recent camera purchase, I have been concentrating on everything photography-related and expanding my knowledge of this hobby since. Through my obviously more web savvy cousin, Allen I am now using the free photo hosting and sharing site, photobucket.
Now, now before you think of me as completely out-of-tune with the Internet and its endless offerings (I am blogging aren’t I?), I have looked at a few other photo hosting/sharing sites (i.e. smugmug). Also, I have been using Kodak Gallery and was satisfied with it until photobucket entered the picture. No pun intended.
Anyway, if Kodak Gallery had an easier and faster way to upload files, I doubt I would have switched to photobucket. I am not yet fully on the photobucket bandwagon, but I will be ordering my photos through photobucket (really via QOOP) soon to compare quality, delivery, cost. I checked out QOOP’s price list and so far the prices are the same. Kodak Gallery, however, does from time to time have promotions of $0.10 per print as well as 10% off orders over a specific amount, and has multiple, convenient options to pick up the prints. I am hoping QOOP/photobucket has similar offerings.
We will see; hopefully purchasing print via QOOP will be as convenient and cost-effective as Kodak. I am a one-stop-shop type of shopper and with all the gadgets and features that photobucket offers for free, it is slowly becoming my favorite website to store and share my photos.
