I've been using mpix, but I'm thinking of switching to Bay Photo. I like how its geared more toward the professional photographer. I also really like their albums and choices. Anyone use them and like them?

I highly recommend Bay Photo. Their ROES ordering system can be daunting at first. Look at the videos and call Customer service for help. Once you get it, it's easy.

They have economy and professional. Professional means their techs will enhance all images for you. They just run the image through in economy.

Shipping is very reasonable and I experience a 5 day turnaround from CA to FL.

Give them a shot. I know you will be happy.

I use Bay Photo. Their prints on metal (aluminum) are breathtaking if you have the right photo.

Bay is a big step up in quality over MPIX as Bay is geared primarily to the Pro market. MPIX is Miller Labs consumer division. Miller is comparable to Bay in quality and price, and they use a similar photographers interface as MPIX which you are apparently used to. Either Bay or Miller will give you great results and reasonable turn around times.

Thanks. I'm going to give them a try. I'm assuming they don't charge to download their ordering software?

I use them all the time. But since they are located down the street from me, it's a given. They are great!

I use Bay Photo and Millers. They are both great. Bay Photo has more products that appeal to the high school seniors that I am working with now. I haven't done any metal prints yet....waiting for a shot begging to be metalized.

SmugMug.com did a test of all major labs in the U.S. and Bay Photo came out as their best choice for professional results by a landslide victory. That tells me something because SmugMug don't mess around.
