<p>Has anyone used MixBooks? They are highly rated, but not by a group with this expertise.<br>

Thank you,<br>

<p>I glanced at this topic yesterday. Today, I got a promotional e-mail from Fuji ... they now make a color accented "fashion statement" camera with special adaptations for selfies!<br>

Note in the advertisement, they feature teenage girls. This the very demographic that had a major influence on the Japanese cell phone industry. Whatever people think of selfies (I am not a fan), they do seem to be an obsession, especially among the young. </p>

<p>Dear David, Thank you! This is exactly the kind of informtion I am looking for. The questionable color and especially the poor customer service are real red flags for me. I will consider them in the absence of other alternatives. Best regards, John C</p>

<p>Can you recommend one? I'm looking to make photobooks. I want good quality paper, good color printing and good binding.<br>

Thank you,<br>

<p>Not sure if this is the right place to post this question BUT...<br>

I will be attending a sporting event with about 70 competitors running several days. I'll be taking a lot of photos. Our goal is to give each competitor a thumb drive memory stick with about 100 photos of the event. Once the selected photos are in a folder, I will then have to transfer them to about 70 memory sticks. What is an efficient way to do that?<br>

1. I have heard of ImageUSB as software utility that can manage the duplication, but I will need some sort of multiple port USB adapter. Can you make a recommendation, PLEASE.<br>

Thank you, John Ciccone</p>

<p>I have decided to start using some of my old film cameras again. I will shoot B&W and color, process the B&W myself but send the color stuff out. 2 questions<br>

1. I'm looking at two 35mm film scanners, the Pacific Imaging Prime Film XA and the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i Ai Film scanner .<br>

Has anyone of you used the Pacific Imaging XA, it is new and a search of the internet has not come up with any user/purchaser reviews.<br>

OR can you suggest a good quality 35mm scanner for up to $600?</p>

<p>2. If you digitally scan a film negative and import it into Light room, can one edit the image as a raw file, or is that a really silly question. (If it is, please explain, why...or suggest an article to read, I'm new to this sort of business.<br>

Thanks, and best regards, John Ciccone </p>
