Digital cameras have become extremely popular, and most households own one. Getting your photographs from your camera to an actual photograph is a matter of transferring the photos to a printing service - either online or in a store. The prices of the photo printing services vary enough to make it worth your time to compare the options and prices before sending your photos out for printing. Here is a breakdown of pricing options from four of the most popular photo printing services:

Snapfish.com: When you first create an account with Snapfish, you'll get 10 free 46 prints as a welcome bonus. You can get just 10 prints to see the quality of the photographs if you're not sure, or you can include the 10 free prints in your first order. You can also have custom t shirts made that say just about anything you want on them. I can think of a few Spiderman T shirts I'd make. The best photo printing deals to be had at Snapfish are from the pre-paid prints:

250 46 prints = $19.99 (just 8 cents each) 50 57 prints = $24.50 (49 cents each) 100 57 prints = $39.00 (39 cents each) 200 56 prints = $72.50 (29 cents each)

If you still have your 35mm camera, you can ship your used rolls of film to their processing center and get your photographs back through the mail. Pre-pay for developing to get the following rates:

10 rolls = $2.69 each 15 rolls = $2.59 each 50rolls = $1.99 each

When you pre-pay, you then have that number of credits available in your account to use all at once or a little at a time.

Photoworks.com: Another online service that allows you to upload your digital photographs ormail in your film to get prints back in the mail. You receive 25 prints as a first time user of photoworks.com. Once again, the lowest prices are obtained by creating an account and pre-paying for prints. (Hint: you can buy your pre-paid prints and then turn around and upload your photos to use them right away if you want)

220 46 = $29.95 (14 cents each) 500 46 = $59.95 (12 cents each) 1000 46 = $89.95 (9 cents each) 50 57 = $39.95 (69 cents each) 100 57 = $59.95 (59 cents each) 200 57 = $99.95 (49 cents each)

You can mail your rolls of film in for developing as well, including a postage-paid mailer to help keep your shipping costs down.

46 double set of prints with a photo cd = $15 (up to 27 exposure) and $19 (up to 47 exposure) 57 double set of prints with a photo cd = $18 (27 exposure) and $21 (47 exposure)

Walmart: You have a few different choices when you use Walmart.
