| 402798 | 2005-11-08 23:49:00 | Anyone know what sort of costs photo developers charge to transfer digital images to CD from a digi camera? And what chain stores offer this service? Thanks. |

| 402799 | 2005-11-09 00:28:00 | Just use a cd burner, and something like Nero, to burn photos to cd. Most kodak / photo places do photos to cd. And places like Bond & Bond, have those photo kiosk things. So, u can print photos from a memory card, if u have one. |

| 402800 | 2005-11-09 00:46:00 | Thx Speedy - but those aren't the issues... my missus' cousin is visiting NZ for 6 weeks and will be filling her camera's chip several times over while she travels around the country. So she needs to be able to find spots that can transfer the images to CD so she can keep on using it. Getting multiple chips would cost a fortune. Anyway sorted now really... I called Camera and Camera and they do it for 10 bucks. If she can't find a place locally she'll just post the chip to me and I'll burn em and post the chip and disk back. Cheers |

| 402801 | 2005-11-09 00:52:00 | I think I'd follow the backup rule: "It's not a backup until you have checked that you can read it". I know "nothing could go wrong, it's all done by computer". :D It would be prudent to have a quick look at the CD before clearing the camera's storage. |

| 402802 | 2005-11-09 00:56:00 | I think there are Kodak Kiosks located in the main centres which can do that (though I have never used them personally before). | somebody (208) | ||
| 402803 | 2005-11-09 10:08:00 | I would check the kiosks with a mem card of photo that is not too impt firstly. I have exp with Fuji Centres abroad when they downsized and maybe some other stuff .. they converted my JPG files from mem card to their Fuji Photo CD service. I think its best if you wanna preserve the original format is to go to a cyber cafe, it may be lesser and you get the pictures unaltereed. |

| 402804 | 2005-11-09 10:45:00 | Whoa!! $10 to transfer images? In a little town in the Waikato of 7,000 or so, our local chemist has the machine to do it all, they supply the CD, transfer your image all for a nice $5. Also comes with photo thingy software aswell, free of charge..you city people have it rough :lol: :p |

I have heard people filling up a big chip and when returning home they find the chip is corrupted so that no images can be detected. |
