Amazon.com Product Description

Why wait for the family to email photos to each other when you can print them instantly? The Sony DPP-FP30 pops out professional-quality photos quickly and easily, and it's compatible with both Windows-based PCs and PictBridge digital cameras. Speeds are a little faster when you're printing from your PC--you can expect 4-by-6-inch photo in about 90 seconds, compared to approximately 120 seconds from a digital camera's memory card. It'll only take a few clicks to make your photos look their best, thanks to the included imaging optimization software--reduce red eye, improve colors, or crop the edges.

The dye-sublimation print process incorporates special laminated paper with snap-off edges, which is available in 4-by-6 and 3.5-by-5-inch sizes. This technology allows dye-sub printers to produce great looking photos even though they're rated at lower resolution than comparably priced inkjet models. The DPP-FP30 offers 8-bit color and 300 dpi resolution, producing borderless prints that are resistant to sticky fingerprints, ink smudges, and moisture. The 20-sheet paper tray stocks just enough to make sure everyone at your party gets a print to take home. Sony includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

The best so far... by far!.......2005-11-13

Besides the expensive ink and paper (although value packs are available now), this little devil is a charm with a cherry on top!

It is a bit more expensive than other dye-sub printers, but once you try it out you'll realize it's worth it.

One leasson I learned, never go cheap on dye-sub photo printers, they're worth every penny and the DPP-FP30 rules them all.

Great pictures but issues with product.......2005-10-10

This printer does print excellent pictures, but I've had it less than a year and had to send it in for cleaning already, which I had to pay the shipping. The utility that they used to clean it is impossible for the consumer to access, so you have to send it in.
I've purchased two printing packs which were supposed to produce 80 pictures each. I only have 90 pictures to show for it. I'm waiting for Sony to resolve the situation.
My husband bought it for me for Mother's Day, so I could print our baby's pictures easily. He might be sending it back asking for our money back.

Great little photo printer.......2005-09-01

Pictures are shape and the color is crisp and defined. It was easy to use and the price was right. I took about 1/2 minute for each picture to print. I'm a novice at photo printing and I had no problem. I highly recommend this device. You won't be disappointed.

Not as good as a Olympus P-400 but still in the top 5.......2005-08-18

Im a person that had never been a true fan of inkjet printing. im either cleaning the ink cartridges, buying replacement Cartridges or fading in a inkjet prints i have on my wall. I went to dye-sub printing about a year ago. My first purchase was the olympus p-400 printer. Which i loved, even though it does not do a true 8 x 10 print. I then begain a search for a 4 x 6 inch dye-sub printer for every day prints. i came across a good deal on a Sony DPP-FP30 printer. Over all i am still glad i bought it but the pros and cons are:

PRO:
* SMALL COMPACT SIZE FOR TRAVELING
* EASY INSTALLATION.
* CONTINOUS COLOR TONE.
* MATCHES PRINTS MADE AT A 1 HOUR PHOTO
* PRINT RESIST'S FADING BETTER THAN INKJET
* PRINT RESIST'S LIQUID SPILLS
* DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT INK RUNNING DRY IF NOT USED FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME.

CONS:
* THE PRINTS COME OUT DARKER AND A LITTLE DULLER THAN THE
IMAGE ON THE SCREEN. ON MY P-400 PRINTER I USUALLY GET
PRINTS CLOSE TO WHAT IS VIEWED ON MY SCREEN WITH NO
ADJUSTMENT. I OVER COMPENSATE THE DARK PRINTS BY
LIGHTENING / CONTRASTING THE IMAGE. USING A SHARPENING TOOL
I CAN OBTAIN A PRINT WITH MORE DETAIL.
* THE SURFACE IS MORE OF A DULL GLOSS THAN WHAT YOU WOULD
EXPECT.
* THE PRINTS LOVE TO COLLECT FINGERPRINTS ON THE SURFACE

IF I HAD A CHANCE TO PURCHASE THIS PRINTER AGAIN I STILL WOULD. BUT BEING SPOILED WITH THE P-400 I HAD EXPECTED BETTER.

Great Printer.......2005-06-12

This is my third "photo" printer and probably my last. Great Great Great...read the other reviews for more details...I agree on every point.

Great Camera, Throw Away Included Batteries.......2005-12-05

Great Camera, Check The Batteries

I love this little camera-- especially the video capability (640x480, mpeg1, 30fps)-- great pics and high quality video files in a really small package.

Problem: I tried a couple of these and the lens motors stopped working. Finally, after returning twice and purchasing a different model (S60-- same problem), I traced the problem to the batteries. The included Sony batteries seem to come without much power left. In trouble-shooting, I had used the new generic non-alkaline batteries that I had on hand. As this didn't work, I thought the cameras were defective. Finally in the third camera, after the same problem appeared, I bought brand-name alkaline batteries. The camera started working again like a champ.

Conclusion: If the lens stops working, but the camera will still turn on in playback mode, it's probably not defective-- this seems to be the behavior when the batteries are too weak to power the lens. Replace the included Sony's with branded alkaline or high-quality rechargeables.

Sorry Amazon, the couple of cameras I returned are probably perfectly fine. Thanks for the great service in replacing and accepting returns.

The Minolta Maxxum QTsi is the easiest-to-use SLR camera in Minolta's Maxxum product line. It handles and operates similarly to a fully automatic point-and-shoot camera, but provides the picture quality and system flexibility that only an SLR camera can offer. It is a camera you can grow with by adding lenses, flash units, and accessories.

The Minolta QTsi features two detachable lenses, selectable automatic or manual focus, a built-in pop-up flash with four modes, a self-timer, and TTL-type metering. It also offers programmed auto exposure with an additional five modes for portraits, landscapes, close-ups, action shots, and night portraits. Film transport is automatic as well. A large on-body LCD panel displays exposure mode, battery condition, mode selection, and whether manual focus or autofocus is selected.

In the box, you receive the Minolta Maxxum QTsi body, a Minolta lens and lens cap, an adjustable neck strap, a user's manual, and warranty information. It operates on two 3-volt CR2 lithium batteries, which are sold separately. This camera is covered by a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

Super light and phenomenal!.......2001-02-05

If you are tired of the point-and-shoot cameras and want to upgrade to a more sophisticated, yet VERY easy to use camera, the Minolta Maxuum is the one to buy! Have gotten a ton of compliments on the results. I love to take pictures of my neices and nephews, and with the 300 zoom lens, you can be on the other side of a room and take great candid shots. What I also love about this camera is you can attach different filters (I'm using Cokin) to create even more spectacular pictures. Can't say enough about it. Did I mention that it is extremely light-weight?!
