Devloping 35mm film into digital pics: SnapFish vs Ofoto vs Shutterfly

Hi

This summer I went to California for a few weeks with my digital
camera. After a few days I managed to lose my battery charger and was
thus forced to use disposable cameras for the rest of the trip. When I
got home I started looking around for a best way to get the pictures
on the disposable cameras onto my computer in the highest quality.
After I looked around the best [and cheapest] way to do this were
using one of three sites: SnapFish, Ofoto, and Shutterfly.

Now I have to decide between these three. Has anyone had any
experience with them? Which will turn the 35mm film Into the highest
quality digital pics?

Thanks for the help,

Dan

p.s.

I don't care about getting actual prints, just getting the highest
quality computer pics possible

I just checked snapfish to busy to check the others. After seaching
all over the site I found that they scan your negs at 1536 x 1024 and
say its good for a 8X10. Local labs will be a little more but I think
at a better res. Call and find out. Walley work should be at a better
res than this.

I don't know about Snapfish and Shutterfly, but Ofoto will NOT
give you high resolution digital images. They will develop your
film, send you the negatives, and post low resolution images on
their website so that you can choose which pictures you want
printed. =20

Shutterfly is the same way. I've been quite happy with their print
quality for my purposes, however.

Where are you located? Many times, you'll be able to find a
local shop which can produce what you need without having to send
you film through the mail.

I've used three such labs here in my area that can develop the
film and produce high quality 6Mp scans for less than $10 per
roll. If you post your location, you might be able to find a
better option.

Incidentally, I have not been impressed with the work done by any
of the three online houses you mentioned, but I do use
printroom.com for some of my digital printing needs.
