toy printer.......2007-11-15
The Epson picture mate does a good job of printing anything 4 x 6. It is the only size it prints no matter what the size of your image. If you seriously want to print photos, this is not the printer for you. If you want to play with some photos, this will work.
great product but is it worth the price?.......2007-08-13
: PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition takes the personal photo lab one step further, making it even easier to view, edit and print glossy 4" x 6" photos. It measure 6 by 10 by 6 inches (HWD), weighs 5.5 pounds, and has a handle. The Deluxe Viewer Edition also has a battery option. Setup is just as easy as with the original. Simply slide the single six-color ink cartridge--with cyan, yellow, magenta, black, red, and blue inks--into the slot in the back, load the photo paper, connect the power cord, and you're ready to print from a camera, external CD or ZIP drive, a USB memory key, or any type of memory card, although you'll need an adapter for miniSD cards and some Memory Stick formats. To print from your computer, the only additional steps are to connect by USB cable and run the automated install program. You can also add Epson's optional Bluetooth adapter for wireless printing.
It takes about 1 minute 19 seconds to 1:45 for each photo, whether printed from a computer, memory card, or camera.
It uses ink and paper, which means the photos for the Deluxe Viewer Edition are also waterproof and smear-proof even immediately after printing, and they cost only 29 cents per print. Now this is the kicker, it is cheaper to print them at Sam's Club for 12 cents per print, so I only purchased this because I can take it to scrap meets and print what I need when I need it. My other photos I send to Sam's Club or even Wal-Mart for nearly the same price of 12 cents. This is more of a convince thing for me. I purchased this mode for only 24.99 at Target where it normally retailed for 199.00 but it was on super clearance. This is what you have to weigh in on, convince for the price or what your pocket book can handle. It has come in handy for me at times and the prints come out nicely so it is a tossup for people on a budget!
Cartridges don't last.......2007-04-23
I am happy with this printer as long as the cartridge is new...I'm only getting about 40 good pictures from each cartridge. I have completed all the maintenance, but I cannot use the pictures that are printing. I'm considering a new printer purchase - and it won't be an Epson!
no flip-up lcd.......2007-03-13
from the specs, it apprears the only real difference between this and the slightly more expensive "picture mate deluxe viewer edition personal photo lab" is the deluxe viewer. this model doesn't have one as far as i can tell.
is that worth the difference in price? probably, because being able to look at your photos in the printer before you print them is a big asset in a printer that can print directly from a memory card. i guess you could preview them in-camera, but then you'd be wasting battery charge. sort of defeats the purpose if you ask me.
on the plus side, to get epson quality for such a low price--the printer costs a little over 1/2 as much as an ink cartridge--is a fantastic value for the money. i own the deluxe model (see my review there) and i'm generally happy with it, although the faults of that one are well-documented: clogging ink, cropped edges, borders unless perfectly aligned, limited to one print size, etc.
Still, if everything is the same except for lcd, than this model is an excellent, maybe even unbelievable, deal at this price. you probably can't get better quality prints for less, but you can almost certainly pay more. i'd definitely give this as a gift (and look like i spent a whole lot more than i did), but for myself, it made more sense to get the viewer version.
if you really want "pro" photos or multiple print sizes, you're gonna need to get a high-end printer, but for stunning hi-contrast snapshots at better-than-drugstore quality in the comfort of your own home, the PictureMate series comes through.
Epson PictureMate Express.......2007-03-08
I gave this as a gift to my father who has MSNWEB-TV and he was very happy with it's compatibility with the system as well as ease of installation. He likes the PRINTER VERY MUCH!

Buyer Beware.......2007-08-07
I tried it. It destroyed my printer. Even the factory couldn't salvage it. Don't buy it.
Do not buy.......2007-02-10
The printer does not read the cartridges and once I went to take it out, it wouldn't budge. I ended up destroying the machine just to get the cartridge out, and I now have to throw out my $200 machine.
Great Price - It was totally worth my money.......2006-06-02
Great Price - It was totally worth my money. I buy this for my cousin too, who's in the US Navy and he loves it.
cheap and almost useless.......2005-09-13
I tried to save money, and made a bad decision buying this off-brand cartridge. It started out with a bang - loaded the same, looked the same, and then after 7 or 8 photos, the ink ran out and there went my money. Never again will I order this product!

The Nikon D70s: Refining a Winning Formula
Based on the award-winning image quality, high performance and user-friendliness of the Nikon D70, the D70s offers several refinements that will further enhance your digital SLR experience. For starters the D70s features a 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX format CCD that yields 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images that are suitable for making large prints, or for creative cropping to bring out detail. With a power-up time of a mere 0.2 seconds, this SLR is basically ready to shoot when you are. Pictures are processed and recorded extremely quickly, and preview images appear on the LCD monitor almost instantly.
With the D70s, high-speed action photography is truly a reality. With the ability to shoot a rapid three frames per second (fps) for a continuous burst of 144 pictures, you'll never miss any action. And with shutter speeds that range from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second, or up to a 1/500-second flash synch speed, you'll be sure to have the flexibility you need to capture the action precisely as you want it.
Best of all, the D70s employs the Nikon F lens mount for seamless compatibility with the comprehensive lineup of high-quality AF and AF-S Nikkor lenses that have long been favored by professionals around the world. Included with the D70s is the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF -- a compact standard zoom lens that covers the focal length range of 18 to 70 millimeters, which is equivalent to 27 to 105 millimeters in 35mm format.
Professional Quality with Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
While the D70s offers many features you'd only expect in a professional-level SLR, the camera also supports many features that make picture-taking a breeze for anyone. The D70s features Digital Vari-Program selections that automatically optimize white balance, sharpening, tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue settings to best match the selected scene. Instead of having to worry about all the camera settings, you can have the option of choosing from one of several "modes" -- such as Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close Up, Sports, Night Landscape, or Night Portrait -- that will deliver the optimum image for you according to the conditions. This means you can concentrate on capturing that special moment while leaving the details to the camera.
And once you've taken your shots, Nikon's PictureProject user interface makes image management, editing and sharing easy and fun. Simply connect the camera to a computer to automatically import pictures. You can also quickly e-mail or auto enhance images, run slide shows, burn CD/DVDs, and access other commonly used functions easily and intuitively. With simple drag-and-drop steps, you can organize pictures into separate collections and quickly locate any file by name, keyword, or date.
Among the many other features that make the D70s an ideal digital SLR solution are:
- Nikon-exclusive Silent Wave Motor for high-speed auto-focusing with accuracy and super-quiet operation
- Internal Focusing (IF) for smoother operation and great balance
- Three Nikon ED glass elements, plus aspherical element for low distortion and minimized chromatic aberration
- M/A mode for instant switching from auto-focus to manual Nikon D-Signal technology for enhanced flash and ambient exposure control
The camera's included EN-EL3a rechargeable lithium-ion offers up to 2,500 shots per charge, and the large, two-inch TFT LCD monitor offers several playback options, including single frame, four or nine-image thumbnail display, zoom with scroll (up to 4.7x), automatic slide show, histogram indication and highlight point display. In short, the Nikon D70s delivers the professional-level quality an SLR of this class but with many of the convenient automated features that can make photography so fun.

The D50: Advanced Features
The Nikon D50 is a photographer's digital dream come true. Combining Nikon's advanced SLR technology with the simplicity that many point-and-shoot digital camera uses have come to expect, the D50 offers a wide array of features that will satisfy both the weekend picture taker as well as the serious photographer who is looking for an affordable digital SLR solution.
For starters, the D50 features a new 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor and a highly advanced image processing engine that team together to create truly faithful image files of up to resolutions of 3008 x 2000 pixels. Continuous shooting at 2.5 frames per second can be maintained for bursts of up to 137 pictures, making action photography a reality. Pictures are instantly processed and recorded to the photographer's compact SD memory card (not included). A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface supports faster transfer of images when connected to a compatible computer.
With the D50, your shutter speed choices extend from 30 seconds to 1/4,000 second. An automated high-speed flash sync speed up to 1/500 second makes high-quality fill flash photography possible, and you also have the option of manually controlling the bulb setting for long exposures. Auto ISO maximizes available light by automatically setting ISO-equivalent sensitivity across the available range of 200 to 1600, but photographers also have the option to set the ISO sensitivity manually for greater control.
Best of all, the D50 allows you to use any one of Nikon's professional-grade AF and DX Nikkor lenses. The AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f3.3-5.6G that's included with the D50 features one aspherical lens element with a high-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating that delivers superior color reproduction while minimizing ghost and flare. A rounded diaphragm opening with seven blades makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural, and the aspherical lens element minimizes distortion, especially at the periphery area, for superior optical performance. Compact and lightweight with a comfortable, well-balanced feel, this wide angle-to-portrait zoom lens is ideal for travel landscapes, scenics, and general family photography.
Approaching Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
For those who want professional-quality images but without having to think about the settings, the D50's scene-optimized Digital Vari-Program modes simplifies the picture-taking process and frees you to concentrate on capturing those special moments. Selecting one of the seven easily distinguishable icons from the handy exposure mode dial optimizes otherwise complex settings and produces consistently remarkable results. The Child Mode, for instance, makes it easier to take memorable pictures of the little ones complete with ideal vivid color and contrast -- ready to print beautifully without the fuss of later adjustments at the computer. Other modes include Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Close Up, Sports, and Night Portrait.
Among the many features that make the Nikon D50 an exceptional digital SLR choice are:
- 2.0 inch 130,000 pixel TFT LCD with adjustable brightness
- Supports JPEG, RAW (NEF) and JPEG + RAW (NEF) file formats
- Lightweight but strong polycarbonate body over a metal frame
- Built in, five-mode popup flash and external flash hot shoe
- Included CD-ROM loaded with PictureProject software
The compact, lightweight design of the D50 makes it easy to carry on any outing, and the camera's on-screen menus present clear and helpful user information in plain language on a large 2.0-inch LCD monitor. The high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery helps extend mobility and convenience by delivering the power to shoot up to 2,000 images on a single charge. In short, the D50 delivers the professional-level quality of an SLR of this class but with many of the convenient automatic features that can make photography so fun.

The PictureMate also supports all popular memory cards. Plus, you can use the "Save Photo" button for easy one touch backup of digital files directly to an external CD-R, Zip drive or USB thumb drive.
The PictureMate Express is also designed for economy and high print quality. Your photos will be water, smudge and fade proof--lasting as much as two to four times longer than leading brands of photo lab prints. In fact, using the PictureMate cartridge and PictureMate paper, prints can last up to 200 years in archival sleeves in album storage. And, for the first time ever, print your 4 x 6 photos at home for a cost comparable to many retail photo labs -- at about 29 cents per print, you can print to your heart's content. Using a unique six-color pigment ink system, you'll get incredible color and detail with every photo. The printer supports up to 5760 x 1440 optimized DPI (dots per inch) resolution.
Note: A USB cable is not included with the Epson PictureMate Express.
