I took advantage of Adorama's recent deal: $4.95 for 16x20 prints. I chose Kodak Endura metallic paper since I had no idea what it would be like. Well, I got my two prints back this week, and that metallic paper is sweet! It looks even better from a slight angle, with a silvery sheen over everything. The blues in the sky and orange in the autumn tree on my print really pop.
That deal has expired, but they've got a new one — $0.99 photo greeting cards, so long as you get 10 or more.
Here's the print, in an Ikea frame. This photo doesn't do it justice.
I took that snapshot using the Canon G10 I scored for a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to give my impressions of that camera as I go.
Adorama is offering $4.95 16x20 prints right now. You can get them on Kodak Endura Matte, Endura Lustre, and Metallic papers. That's at least 50% off - the Kodak Metallic prints are normally $14.95. I've never ordered prints from them before, and I know nothing about Kodak paper, but geez, it's Adorama. I'm sure they're great. I plan to try out the metallic paper; report forthcoming.
Plus, you get 25 free 4x6 prints and 3GB of storage when you sign up with them. Actually, pretty much every place gives you free 4x6s for signing up. I'll bet if you just kept on signing up for these places, you could get free 4x6 prints for life.
