I hope this doesnt infringe on OC's policy of not mentioning competitors, as far as I know OC does not offer this service, but if they do pls tell me and I will modify this.

Where do you guys get yours prints from? I bought an S80 last week (still yet to arrive :rolleyes: ) and will be looking to get a wide range of print sizes for the photos that I will be taking in Thailand when I get there next week.

All I really know of is Photobox.com, which is fairly cheap, but as soon as you get past the 10x8 barrier it starts to get a bit pricey. Anybody know of any others that provide reasonably large prints at a decent price?

Also, what size prints can I realistically expect to get out of my camera (8mp) under perfect conditions? The advertising schpiel says A2, which would be wonderful, but I'm not entirely sure thats true! We will have to see!
 
Photobox is about as good as it gets regardless of size, sure the big ones aren't cheap but they're worth every penny when you see them. It's proper Fuji photo paper they use and the turnaround time is quick - I think about 60 hours elapsed from ordering to delivery the last time I had big ones done.

A2 is easily achievable from 8mp, I've got 5 that size at home, one of which is a pretty heavy crop so about 4mp all told. The thing about big prints is that you don't tend to get close enough to them to notice any pixellation.
 
Another one to look at is Colab. I've just had an A3 print done via them and from what I can see so far it looks good. Can't compare to any others though, as this is the first print I've ordered! Good turnaround too - ordered it Monday night and it was delivery this morning. Printed on Fuji paper as well. They also offer free colour correction.
