EPSON DID IT AGAIN!!!2008-11-04
WOW!!!! I purchased this printer to replace my old Picturemate (the original) that died after 4 years of hard use. I really didn't expect to see a huge difference in quality, a Picturemate is a Picturemate right? WRONG! The print speed and quality are OUTSTANDING, even better than my old picturemate! I did shop around and after visiting a couple of well known electronic and office supply stores and hearing "Oh..if you had an Epson photo printer, you definitely won't be satisfied with any other brand" a handful of times, I came home and ordered this little jem. If you are in the market for a compact photo printer, this is the one!
Great little workhorse2008-06-02
I probably wouldn't have thought to buy this printer since I already have a great Epson photo printer, but I got it free as part of a promotion when I bought my latest digital camera. If I had known then what I know now, I would pay for this printer. I've printed 30-40 pictures out of this printer so far, and I've been thrilled with every single one. I've tried pictures I've tweaked with photo editing programs and pictures that have come right out of my camera, and they've all been great. I will say that I've only tried the 4x6 with and without borders and haven't tried any of the other options, but for just 4x6 alone, it's worth the price of the printer. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Nice when it works2008-03-01
This device worked great out of the box, with sharp colors and good detail for a $100 printer. It's easy to connect to a PC, and the onboard interface works well (though it's a bit clunky).

That's the good part. The bad part outweighs any advantages. Here's what happened to me.

Two days after receiving and testing the printer, I decided to print more photos. They were filled with horizontal lines, so I ran the device through its onboard cleaning cycle. This corrected the situation somewhat, but the prints were still poor. I contacted Epson, and after a half hour of troubleshooting they sent me a new print cartridge and paper. This corrected the problem.

However, if you let the printer sit unused for more than a few days, the nozzles clog up. When mine does this, I can run it through a dozen cleaning cycles (using paper each time!) and it won't completely correct the problem. I get bad color on the first print, then lines appear and won't go away. It seems to be a problem with the black ink, since the test pattern always shows choppiness in this color.

If the printer worked reliably, I'd keep it. It doesn't, so I'm making arrangements to return it for a different model.
Great Little Printer!2008-02-16
Fast and fabulous photos - purchased the extra battery and now can take the printer downstairs or anywhere I want. Excellent buy!
Great printer2008-02-03
This is a great printer. I had some pictures developed at my local camera shop and paid 79 cents a print to get it printed right away. Then I went home and printed the same pictures off my Snap. I thought the quality was better on my little Snap. It only costs about 25 cents a print on the Snap, plus you can do it at home. Once in a while, you have to clean the heads, but the printer does it all. You just press a few buttons. I am not great with tech stuff, but this is easy to operate. I can see why it's called the Snap. It's really fun to use and I highly recommend it. Epson has come up with a winner. Love this printer!

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
