A good alternative to emailing photos is to upload your photos to a website, then simply email website link to your friends or family. This avoids problem of huge email attachments. Uploading Photos to a Website One of best ways to share digital photos is to upload them to a website. There are many online photo storage sites available. Here's a list of sites you may want to look at:

* Ofoto is one of my favorite photo sharing sites. It allows you to upload photo albums and determine who can view those albums. * Shutterfly is another good site. The site allows unlimited photo upload, but you'll find that their print prices are higher competition. * Yahoo! Photos is a good photo sharing site with a clean, professional look. There is a limit of 300 uploaded photos per member.

You should know that there are limitations to using photo sharing websites. Some of them charge a fee for their services, while others require you to order prints to keep your account active. You also may not be able to customize presentation of website easily.

My personal recommendation is to set up your own web site to host your own picture gallery. If you're looking for a good web hosting company, I'd suggest you try Yahoo web hosting. I've used them for years without any problems and their customer support is first-rate. Transfer your files Conclusion There are various ways to share your digital photos with friends and family. Personally, I tend to burn my images to CD or DVD and pass them around. I also like uploading images to websites for all to see. Do try one of above techniques next time you want to share photos!

The small, yet feature-packed body allows you to take great pictures and video too. It also runs on rechargeable batteries, making it one of best point-and-shoot cameras out there.

Casio Exilim EX-Z50 With a 5 megapixel resolution and 3x optical zoom, Casio Exilim EX-Z50 is one of smallest digital cameras out there. I found that it’s got a pretty big LCD screen, fast response time and decent battery life, Recommended for those who want a very small, compact camera that takes good pictures.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1 This is a 3.3 megapixel resolution camera with a 10x optical zoom. The powerful optical zoom is a big plus – it’s tough to find a camera with a 10x zoom in this price range. It also runs on rechargeable batteries and shoots great looking pictures. I highly recommend it.
