Sold on this printer on the very first day!

by platzer , Aug 05 '02
Pros: I'm impressed! Photo quality prints w/o cutting paper in seconds. Everyone should have one!
Cons: "Fuzzy" documentation. Can't use some features with PC. Finding replacement photo paper in normal stores.
Well, I'm impressed! A barrier to electronic photos in my household was the quality of ink jet printers for photos and the fact that you had to buy large, expensive sheets and cut your photos to size. No more!

In the 48 hours I...

Worth every cent

by ozdick , Aug 26 '02
Pros: Brilliant photo quality prints. Perfect colour images. Borderless prints
Cons: None
Until you print your first photo out with this printer, its hard to describe how gob smacking perfect the end result is.
The colours in the prints are outstanding. I had a Panasonic digital printer before this, but the images were dull, flat and...

Great Printer!!

by rickcvg , Nov 28 '02
Pros: Quality of prints, ease of use
Cons: price of media, limit on picture size
The Sony DPP-SV55 printer is an outstanding quality printer from the name we've all come to correlate with quality. The prints are photo lab quality and just about everyone who looks at the prints actually thinks I got them done at a lab. The printer...

Sony DPP-SV55 - My own photo lab!

by micmac21 , Sep 09 '02
Pros: True photo quality, edge to edge printing + more
Cons: Paper/Ribbon pack may be hard to find locally but better deals online
I have owned this printer for a 1-1/2 years and think its one of the best computer/electronic investments I've ever made. I originally reviewed this over a year ago under a different item title, "Digital Photo Printer SV55". Due to the new category and...

Cons: Paper/Ribbon pack hard to find locally but plenty available online, prints up to 4x6

I had a spending cap of $500 for purchasing a photo printer and of course I wanted the best my money could buy. After researching and...

quality prints in the comfort of your own home

by mav11703 , May 27 '02
Pros: unbelievable photo quality
Cons: none
I went to Circuit city looking for a photo printer. I looked at the HP 100 because my brother uses it for his photo's. That has a 2600x1200 dpi. This is the most confusing aspect about printers. You can't measure the quality of prints by that number....

This is got to be the Best digital photo printer on the market today for the average consumer. A friend of mine bought one and wanted me to check it out. I was amazed at the quality of the prints, they are as close to a developed 35mm photo can be. ...

One hour photo? How about, 90 seconds!

by J_McNew , Dec 17 '01
Pros: Incredible photo quality and a great price. Fast and easy.
Cons: None.
Don't be fooled by the DPI ratings of "photo quality" inkjets. They don't even come close to Sony's dye sublimation technology. There are no dots to see. Colors are laid down one at a time, one over the other. Also, these images do not run when wet...

Great little printer

by banderso , Sep 17 '02
Pros: High quality output. good speed for quality. compact supply costs are now reasonable
Cons: wedded to Sony for supplies Only prints 4x6 and 3.5x4 pictures
I bought this printer from Best Buy for only $199 because they will no longer be handling them. I really wanted a DPP-SV77, but could not resist the price. I rushed home with my new toy and hooked it up to my TV (acts as a monitor).

I printed...

Has Sony Finally Doing Something Good?

by jnoschese , Sep 04 '02
Pros: Perfect Prints, Ease of use, tons of options, sleek styling
Cons: no 8x10's, somewhat long term expensive
Preluede

Lets first start off with, that I'm not a huge fan of Sony. To me, they generally put streamline technology in products, and charge double, and the overall quality of their products seem lacking to me. There Trinitron 4:3 TVs...

Pros: VERY SMALL, GOOD PICTURE QUALITY, WATERPROOF PICTURES, TEAR FREE PICTURES
Cons: 4 X 6 PICTURES ONLY, VERY EXPENSIVE TO PRINT
I was searching for photo printer and finally I decided to go ahead and purchase Sony printer. My happiness lasted only (not even) three days! Don't get me wrong, the pictures are excellent, the paper is waterproof, tear proof but the only problem the...

Don't buy this product

by jameshbrad , Dec 25 '02
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Badly designed, ridiculous concept
I got one of these printers for my wife on Christmas. I knew it didn't use the same kind of memory as our camera but what the heck the box said it had a USB connection. Great. Come Christmas day she opens it up. Connecting this printer to a computer is...
