PC Magazine Review
Rating: 4.0 out of 5Liked: Prints directly from PictBridge cameras. Extremely easy to set up and use.
Disliked: 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.
In Short:: The Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30 has relatively expensive running costs at $0.56 to $0.63 for each 4-by-6 print. But it's easy to install and use, prints directly from PictBridge cameras and computers, and provides output that's as good as it gets.
