What You Should Know about the DDP-FP70
Snapshot printers
This printer is designed exclusively to print photographs on photo paper only, in a limited range of sizes. All of them print at the most common 4-by-6-inch size, and some print additional sizes. All of them have media slots for printing directly from camera storage cards, and many have a PictBridge port for accessing photos from a PictBridge-compatible camera. All snapshot printers can print photos independent of a PC, although you can install it on one if you wish.
Snapshot printers are an easy way for you to enjoy and share your photos. They're small enough to take to a party or event for on-the-spot printing. Some offer carrying cases or battery packs.
The simplest models just print the photo, with perhaps a few basic adjustments such as redeye removal or date/time stamp. More sophisticated models offer further editing and layout options; effects like sepia-toning or brushstrokes; or the ability to customize with clip art, writing, or themed borders. One high-end model includes a CD/DVD burner for archiving photos. Whether you want to pay for more bells and whistles is your call. In any case, make sure the snapshot printer you choose accommodates your camera's storage media.
