     こちらは大(おお)手(て)系(けい)ではなくてデジタルプリントサービスのパイオニア。それだけにノンセクションでデジタルカメラへの対(たい)応(おう)が早(はや)く、またプリントも良(りょう)質(しつ)だ。

     Kochira wa ōte kei de wa nakute dejitaru purinto sābisu no paionia. Sore dake ni nonsekushon de dejitaru kamera e no taiō ga hayaku, mata purinto mo ryōshitsu da.

     You don't need a digital print services pioneer affiliated with a major company. A non-specialist shop dealing with digital cameras can provide fast service and good quality prints.
