Hey this coming Sunday, June 12th come on out to 18th St. between 5th and 6th Avenues for this great event! Try out a Canon camera, then see your prints in just minutes! AdoramaPix will be there with a booth and we'll be giving away free photo books (one per attendee). Lots of other exciting things to do and see, so make a plan and come on out (11AM to 3PM). -Ingrid

It’s a fact of life; things just keep on getting more expensive. From gas to food to housing costs, it seems that you have to spend more and more money to get the same things. What you could afford a few years ago or maybe even last year might now be out of your price range. Consumers are faced with the mission of finding the best value for their money, something that is no easy task. Price increases seem to be across the board in every sector. Manufacturing in New York is failing to grow per projections due mostly to rising costs of raw materials. You may have read about Kodak’s decision to add a surcharge to some of its products to offset the increases in prices of silver, and, to a lesser extent, petroleum and pulp. Silver is a major ingredient in Kodak’s photofinishing products (including the paper AdoramaPix uses for printing!). What does this mean for you, the AdoramaPix customer? If the surcharges begin to affect us negatively, we may have to raise prices. This is not a certainty, and we’ll definitely keep you posted on any plans we have for raising prices. As it stands now, our prices are stable and our quality is unmatched (as usual!), so you can continue to order with confidence. -Ingrid

Hey guys, We've had to raise the prices on most of the photo books. You know we hate doing this, so we're putting all the photo books on SALE until the 15th! Prices have already been adjusted on the site, so if you want to finish a book you already started, start to make one, or buy some prepaid books in your favorite size, do it now! Sale prices are valid until the 15th of March.

We're working on improving PixPublisher, our online book creation and editing program. We've added easier ways to line up your images and other elements on your book pages. There's a new "snap to" feature that makes it very easy to center an image on the page. Take your mouse and drag the image to near the center of the page; a vertical line will appear when the image is at the center of the page vertically, a horizontal line will appear when it's at the center of the image horizontally. Two intersecting lines will appear, like a cross-hairs, when the image is at the center of the page. In other news, you can now upload images from SmugMug, Phanfare and Photobucket directly to your book. There's another round of improvements scheduled for next week, so stay tuned for more awesomeness! -Ingrid

By popular demand, we've added bulk pricing for our photo books. Now when you buy 20 or more of the same book, we take %10 off the price automatically in the shopping cart. Get a peek at the prices here then order up. This pricing structure is perfect for studio samples, leave-behinds or as gifts.

Yes you read that right! Watch this vid in which my buddy David Bergman (of Obama inaguration gigapan fame)presents images from the Bon Jovi tour to the band in the form of AdoramaPix photo books! The books make an appearance around 4:32 in. Check it OUT!

We will be closed to celebrate Rosh Hashanah tomorrow and Friday (Sept 9 and 10). Our website will be up and running, and you can place orders, work on photo books, etc., but no orders will be processed until we return on Monday September 13th. L'shana tova! The AdoramaPix Team

Hi guys! Here's a chance for you to submit photos to be critiqued in the Adorama Learning Center's popular feature, ZAP Critiques! Better yet, if your image is chosen to be critiqued, you get a free photo book from US! Follow this link and check it out!

Hi guys, Come see the newest addition to our online community, our user forum. So far we've just started the introductions, but you can jump into the conversation any time! We'd love for the forum to become a place where we can learn from and be inspired by each other and we'd love to see you over there!

This time we're pitted against Picaboo. See the results here.
