Simply The Best Way To Get 4x6 Prints At Home!

Pros: Prints decent photos from high-resolution images; its prints are relatively inexpensive and indestructible.
Cons: Can't view photos directly on printer; prints fall out of paper output tray when left unattended; noisy; doesn't run off batteries; low-resolution pictures become inferior prints.
Summary: I just purchased the Sony DPP-EX5 earlier this week. I am absolutly amazed! I have been using an Epson Stylus Photo 820 inkjet printer. That printer does produce very nice photos, however, I kept running into problems with ink clogs, poor edges in borderless photos, and the speed of the printer. So, knowing that all I ever print at home for photos is 4x6 prints, I decided to give the Sony a try. I am glad I did! Dye-sublimation produces much better and longer lasting prints. I have made many comparison prints from the Epson and the Sony. Hands down the Sony wins. And that is saying a lot considering Epson's reputation for making good photo printers. I still have the Epson as my everyday printer and it works well for that. But from now on for my photos it will be the Sony. When you factor in price per print and the fact that you are only printing the digital photos you want, it is very affordable. I am useing this printer in for photos shot with my Olympus C-5050 5mp camera. I purchased the DPP-EX5 at [local store]for [$$$]. The 25 pack ink/paper packs sell there for [$$$]. Not a bad deal. One last thing. If you purchase the Sony, download the most recent driver from Sony's website if you plan to use the printer with a pc like I do. It ads a few fine tuning options not on the included CD. Despite the cons, the pros still outwheigh the cons, to me. Just buy it, you will love it!

Great but for money!!

This is a great little printer for the money.... I couldn't believe my eyes when I first found it. The pictures come out on a standerd 4x6 print paper. The paper is slightly expensive and price per print is slighly higher compared to going in and just ordering prints from another place (like kodak print center). I figured about 0.57$ compared to 0.09$. The benefit is that you can make sure that your prints actually turn out so you have close to a 100% success print rate. I know what I'm getting and I'm getting it right away... no waiting a week for the stuff to show up in the mail. The one draw back I found is that the colors sometimes come out over corrected but I just need to find a way through the drive to stop that from happening... Reds come out overwhelming and whites are sometimes blinding.

Excellent printing directly from iPhoto

if you are a mac user, this is a great deal for a darn good dye sub printer! install the OSX driver and off you go into iPhoto-land printing all your pictures using all sorts of themes from within iPhoto. my fave tho' is the tried and true simple white edged border. it also does edge to edge no problem. this is NOT a substitute for kodak services if that's your bag, but for at-home creativeness and family album fun this can not be beat. i like to use it with "Comic Life" to add captions and make postcards. it is too much fun, low hassle, and creates great looking prints. so when you are ready to toss the ink jet out the window in frustration, for postcard size prints, check out this little unit.

Excellent printer

I used to be a die hard HP fan, I never worried about the price of ink cartages, I wanted quality. I read about Sub-Dye printing and found out it is far superior to than ink printing. I went out and bout the printer for $200.00. One print cartridge comes with 25 sheets and all the dye ribbon. When you finish up the 25 pics you toss the whole thing and inset a new one. I never have to worry about ink drying up or running out in the middle of a project. The price per pic is very low and the quality beats any ink printer on the market. There is no difference between a photo devolved at Kodak or the one I can print.
This is the mother of all printers.

Perfect

I've been an avid amateur photographer for over 20 years, and I can tell you the prints from this printer are top notch and lab quality.

The color rendition is extemely accurate so long as you properly load the Sony printer driver. Those of you who get unexpected results may because of the quality or calibration of your computer monitor. I have not noticed, as some have, that any color is particularly bright or vivid. The price per print is a little hefty, around $0.65 per print if your buy the larger 75 print kit, but of course you only print the ones you really like. Be advised that Sony does not include in the box any starter print cartridge or paper in the box, so you must buy these separatly.

an excellent printer at a low cost

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2004

I bought this printer a week ago and am extremely satisfied with its quality. The photos come out in about 90 seconds, and are impossible to distinquish from photo-lab prints. Pictures were taken with a Sony DSC-P5, a 3.2 megapixel model. I've read complaints about photos not coming out so well on this model... I imagine they are not using a Sony camera. It's got a memory stick reader for a reason =)
This printer is all you need, and its the cheapest one offered by sony right now. I did some research and all three currently offered printers use the same printing technology (dye sublimation), it's only the features that effect the price. The $500 model has an lcd screen, the $250 is extra tiny but can only do 3x5. this $200 needs a television or your computer, tho.
Cons: noisy whine while machine is off. doesn't come with usb cable for computer hookup (manual claims using a computer disables the "fine print" option).

Sony Digital Cam Photo Printer is AWESOME & USER FRIENDLY

I found the sony digital cam photo printer online by accident while holiday shopping, read the reviews and decided to make the purchase. The product is a good value, cost wise, and is so easy to operate and the pictures are superb! I've only used the product twice- just recieved it 5 days ago and I haven't hooked it up to my pc yet (but that wasn't the point of my purchase anyway because I have an inkjet photo printer and printing software) but have used it on my home tv and the software program is just great- right from the TV I view all prints, can add text to the print, change the print to B&W, adjust tint, brightness etc and print however many prints of each photo I want. I even printed out an index photo of all the pics on my memory stick- awesome. The picture quality is so much better than inkjet prints and you can't tell the difference between these and professionally printed photos. The quality is remarkable. I highly recommend this product to both experienced and inexperienced digital camera users- it's great to have a device like this on hand to print pictures out immediately to share with others (modern similarity to poloroid cams in that you're able to share immediately right from your home TV or others- did I Say how easily PORTABLE this is-but SO MUCH MORE) The reviews here helped me so I'm hoping I can help someone else in making a decision.

Great Deal for the Money Invested!

I just purchased the DPP-EX5 printer and I'm very pleased with the quality of pictures it prints. It's size it's quite portable and is very user friendly, just wasted one sheet while hooking it up on a PC. Like other opinions, I think the quality of the picture taken will determine how good the print will be. I suggest for all those interested, get a good digital camera, perhaps a Sony and then just do your shots and print them, you will be more than satisfied with this printer.

Love this printer!!!

The print quality is awesome, I am using a Sony Cybershot 5 megapixel camera. I took it out of the box and loaded the paper, cartridge and memory stick and started printing right away! It has so many features. You can edit your pics right on your television then print. It has many editing features as well! My only concern is that it does't come with a USB cable, but that can always be purchased at a later time. Overall, this is an excellent photo printer.

Best And Affordable Dye-Sub Printer

This printer is awsome, its only 200 bucks, which is a good price for a dye-sublimation printer. This baby prints lab quality prints im telling you. My only wish is that Sony would make a version that can print up to 5x7, that would be so great. Even if you dont have a computer, with this you can hook it right up to your tv and use the effects and print. It can print 3x5, 4x6, and little mini stickers which are cool. The stickers are just like the ones you can make out those little booths that charge like 4 dollars. You can make your own much cheaper with this, its awsome!
