<p>I did a close comparison between AdoramaPix and MPix. Here is my review.<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>

First of all, both of them are on the top bar - remarkably better than snapfish / shutterfly / local pharmacy like walgreens / cvs / target. <br>

I have been a adoramapix customer for three years until a friend recommended mpix to me. I had a set of pictures, taken by Kodachrome using a Contax T2, developed and scanned by Dwayne’s Photo. The resolution suffices 300dpi. I had adoramapix print one set and mpix print another set using the same original jpeg files embedded sRGB color space. The extra set was for my parents.<br>

<br /> I chose metallic paper from both labs (no lustre coating from mpix). For a 4×6 print, it cost 29c at adoramapix and 59c at mpix. Mpix roughly double the price.<br /> <br /> The packaging of mpix is slightly better but both over suffices protection purpose.<br /> <br /> Both of them use Kodak Professional Endura paper, adoramapix has a more shining finishing in its surfaces.<br /> For a long time I was not happy with the details of adarama prints – it’s worse than my Canon MP980 printer on Canon Photo Plus paper. Mpix is doing better but not much – still worse than my home printer.<br /> <br /> Talking about the “edges” (object contours) in the prints, mpix is slightly more crispy. Mpix offers more stereo human face on portraits than adorama. These can be identified by naked eyes. Using a Pentax 5.5x Loupe, I could see finer edges on mpix prints with about 1.5x resolution than adorama. There are more noise (white dots on dark objects near borders) on adorama prints.<br /> <br /> Overall, mpix is about 20-25% better than adorama. But I do not think it worth double the price. For photo enthusiasts, adaramapix is good enough.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot, Ryan and Steve.</p>

<p>Dear fellows, I got a question to bother you about the GX680 Polaroid back. After taking pictures, should I pull the film out of the back to let it develop, or should I keep it in the back to develop, until the suggest time out and then pull the film out? The instruction on the film pack suggests to pull the film out and let it develop, won't that over expose the film? Thank you.</p>
