Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 review
Intro You won't waste a lot of time learning to use this compact, 300dpi dye-sublimation photo printer. Devoid of any on-printer controls other than a standby button, the Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 is strictly a plug-it-in-and-print component. There...
Easy to operate; relatively inexpensive; speedy.
No memory card slots or on-printer controls; not Mac compatible; high cost per print.
This bare-bones photo printer makes good-looking--albeit expensive--prints.

Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30
The Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 is a little expensive to run, but delivers photos on the spot in about 90 to 130 seconds.
Prints directly from PictBridge cameras. Extremely easy to set up and use.
No memory-card slots. Cost per page for 4-by-6-inch prints is about twice what it costs for digital prints at a typical photo or drug store.

Sony DPP-FP30
Unlike its predecessor, Sony's latest PictureStation doesn't try to do too much -- dropping the LCD display, video-out capabilities and memory card slots -- and as such sports a much smaller form factor.
Fairly inexpensive ; Excellent print quality ; Fast ; PictBridge support ; Easy to use ; Stylish design ; Waterproof prints
No memory card reader ; No battery pack option ; Slightly higher cost per print

Sony DPP-FP 30
Small and compact and easy to use.
Can be a bit temperamental with Windows 7. Worked out of the box straight away but had a couple of glitches after that. Paper and cartridges are expensive.

Sony DPP-FP 30
Compact, ease of setup, quiet. Paper is relatively affordable.Print is OK but not brilliant
Print Quality is not brilliant, but then again its not a high-end piece of kit or priced to be so.

Sony DPP-FP 30
Easy set up, print what you want. Small and compact very easy for storage and doesn't create much noise at all.
You can only print out a couple of sizes, but I suppose this is just because I'm fussy.
