I can send the files in, get exactly what I want, and be sure that the cropping and color is the same each and every time. Good color labs run a densitometer check at least once a day, and can print larger jobs than 10 x whatever. Also I don't have to worry about color fading. For my snaps, I use Costco here. They are cheap and close, use the Fuji Frontier printer, but run by poorly trained off-the-street workers who have little interest in technical or aesthetic issues. My humble opinion.

A digital 4x6 is actually a 4.5x6 or 6.5 x4. My my Epson 2200 down to my compact Canon CP200 will crop with digital images. Same goes when your making a print from a negative at a photo lab. Unless you can get a full frame w/white or black border, the print you get will not show the entire image.
