I think it would be good idea for someone to review all these upoad sites, and build a feature comparison table. I started saving photos at snapfish back in its’ early days, then moved to picasa, and am not sure if I am missing anything by not moving to other more modern sites. I have years worth of albums at these sites, and won’t move to another service unless I have a very good reason to. Ease of use for OTHERS is imnportant to me, otherwise people won’t take the time to look at my shots.

picasa is a horrible photo storage application. if you have high res images — you will get a lot of noise on the upload; flckr is much better than picasa ; smug mug turns out to have the best quality when uploaded, but requires a fee to use the service ($40 per year).

flckr and smug mug have similar upload quality, however, smug mug still gives you a better quality upload than flckr

I use Corel Products-they are much more instinctive, not to mention cheaper, than Adobe Products. Can you add Corel to your matrix?

Thanx

Thank you so much! I think this is exactly the sort of post I like seeing- expanding our knowledge of what capabilities and programs are available to us. Many of which we might not already be aware of. =)

I use digiKam on Linux to do my photo management. It can upload direct to:

- Smugmug
- Gallery (a photo website engine you can have on or in your own website)
- Picasaseb
- Flickr
- 23hq
-Facebook

I can also export direct to:
- A stand-alone HTML website that it builds on request
- An Flash FLV file for a video slideshow

I’ve recently made a commitment, both personal and financial, to get a real estate blog up and running (about 1/2 way there now), but good pics are hard to find (aka, expensive when hiring out). I’m a real novice at picture taking, but enthusiastic with some classroom time under my belt and a versatile, simple camera– Canon Powershot S5IS. I purposely bought it so I could point and shoot vs changing lenses and missing the moment, but getting back into real estate sales earlier this year now presents a new wrinkle or two…

Couple of questions I could use help with:

1. Canon does have both a telephoto and wide-angle lense available for this camera–are they worth the added expense? Wide angle is a real must for house photography, but is this a good way to go or would Photostitch do a better job on a few select pics and later trade up for an actual DSLR?

2. Is there a plug in for a blog/website, Facebook, plain old email, etc. that easily presents the viewer with a “wall” or gallery of photos similar to Cooliris without the viewer needing to download anything or give any information in order to view–just click-and-view? Cooliris is a great presentation, similar to HP’s touchscreen photo presentation, but I would need something available in one click with no commitment on the viewers end (that doesn’t take forever to load). Am I just dreaming or is this possible to accomplish for the average blog reader/picture viewer with average internet speed?

Thank you!
