SmugMug or Flicker... What are u using?

[SandShots]

when you have a pro account ($130) you can... if your interested in getting one, let me know, I have a coupon to give you i think its $5 off a account

whats the diffrence between the pro account and non?

I have a Flickr Pro account and I think it's great once you learn to use it. I used to use Photobucket, until I realized I was sacrificing image quality through their hosting.

Take a Look! Exactly the same image hosted on both sites...

quality wise I never had a problem with photobucket - however their resizing codes are not as good as those on flickr - or rather they apply less sharpening to shots which are automatically resized by their software.

i'm not sure... to be honest, i dont even know if there is a non pro account... go to the site and check it out

I use flickr and love it! I'll purchase a pro account within a month since 3 set limit is not enough. As a pro, you get unlimited storage, statistics and more. It's worth it

I use smugmug, not because I'm in the business of selling photos, but I find it to be a very nice, no-frills hosting site. Photobucket and Flickr have too much "extra junk" for my liking.

Smugmug does offer lower-level accounts(non-pro) with plenty of features for much less than the $130 figure. I can't remember at the moment, but I want to say I have the mid-level Smugmug account which is $45/year.

I use an old desktop computer running a Cent OS based web server to host my own website off my home office Internet connection.

For posting photos on forums and such, I use PhyreFile, a simple, no-nonsense file host.

Pardon the pimping

I just recently started using Flickr and upgraded today to the pro account. So far I really like it.

3 set?

you can try picasa from google... you will get 1gb space, and you can upload it directly from picasa photo viewer... storage space upgrading option is also available...

I have recently purchased a Smugmug account. I had run a trial between Smugmug and Zenfolio. Both are great services and Smugmug won out on the slightest margin. I currently have pro account on flicker as well that I will be letting go. I just wanted a bit more control of my photos than I felt that I had on Flickr. They were a great starting point and I was with them for 3 years. I would probably keep both accounts if it didn't seem like I was wasting money.

smugmug gives a discount if someone else thats a member has a coupon.
or if I type in an existing members email address.

I use flickr because like what was said earlier, it's more of a community site, and as a result has gotten me work.

And there's also pdx strobist on there, because we're cool like that.
