I have recently paid for Boot's processing for two rolls of 35mm film from their central Newcastle store. I would strongly recommend you do not consider them for film processing services, because... more

    4 Stars I Won't Be Walking Away From Boots Photo Processing 11/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great quality, wonderful staff, low price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long queuing time during busy times

    I have been using Boots - Photo Processing for many years. Today, I went in, in my wheelchair to get some digital photos developed. I noticed that it was difficult to move around to get to the machines. The space was particularly tight, but the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I have tried other Photo Processing places, but I have to say that Boots is my favourite for reliability and time. If you want good photos then you should stick with Boots. When a person thinks about Boots they usually think of chemist, beauty, perfume, soap and then as a last resort, photos. Perhaps you have ... more

    5 Stars Good Enough for a Professional like me 06/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent consistency of prints, new digital technology - just simply the best

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the price - but you do pay for quality

    If you are remotely serious about your photography, don't cut corners, go for the best printing around - try Boots. It may sound silly coming from me, a Professional, to take your film to dear old 'aunty' Boots and trust it to them, but wait.. listen. It is one place that I can trust for consistency and high quality. Especially since they have recently re-kitted their main branches out with state-of-the-art Fuji digital equipment. There are times when I am out and about that I need to turn around a roll or two of film promptly - for a client to see proofs - or maybe to meet a deadline for the ... more

    4 Stars Digital Photo Printing at Boots 14/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the cheapest

    I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various ... more

    4 Stars Boots, Jessops, Tescos Printing Services and the technologies 25/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good quality printing, using both dye sublimation and conventional chemical techniques

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the cheapest

    This is a review I've decided to write having read someone else's apparantly biased review towards Boots. I'll give a brief review of my experience. I have no complaints with Boots at all. I wanted to cover in detail some of the things that make a key difference in the quality of the prints, which generally isn't covered by other reviewers. I'm quite a serious photographer owning Canon L series pro level equipment and quite a good pocket Nikon camera. I've been doing photography for 25 years using 35mm SLR cameras. I've started using my local Boots for printing. But I'm not exclusively using ... more

    Advantages Advantages superb quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the cheapest

    Photo processing you'll probably fall into one of two catergories 1-the consumers who go for the cheapest,complain about the quality spend time trying to get them corrected or having to have them reprinted elsewhere possibly at extra cost thus wiping out the original amount they tryed to save in the beginning. 2-the consumer who goes for quality,they take a little more time on deciding where to go, they may read reviews in magazines,on the internet or take advice on the experiences of friends and family. You see photographic developing deals with peoples treasured memories and can be an ... more
