Photobox have always been good for me, although I've only used them to up A4.

The normal jpgs from the RAWS should be fine for A3 size from your 7D to be fair.

I've used Photobox for A3 and bigger, and they've been fine.

I've just started using DSCL and their service and quality has been excellent so far printing up to 18x12.

Photobox have a deal on 30x20" for about £9 at the moment, you've got to fish around their site but it is there.

i've just ordered 4x 30"x20"'s from photobox....had a load of a2 from them and happy so no reason why they can't sdo a good job on the 30x20's

DSCL 18x12 £1.10 plus postage
16x12 £1.05 plus postage

photobox 18x12/16x12 £6.19 plus postage

Surely these prices being quoted are for photos only, not canvases?

Well they are hardly canvass prices. Photobox is currently cheaper than DSCL at the moment but only due to them offering a discount.

That'll teach me for not reading the OP :bonk:. In that case I can definitely recommend point101, the prices are fairly good and the quality is great, free delivery in the UK too.

cheers again everyone....i'll let you know what i go with and what quality they come back!

danmon_81 · 17 May 2010

I think im gonna go with photobox....the A3 size is slightly larger than point101....but i do like the point101 lay out!! £30....lets see how it looks!
