Sony Picture Station DPP-FP90

The Sony Picture Station DPP-FP90 is tied for bragging rights as the fastest small-format dedicated photo printer.

Fast. High-quality photos. Large LCD for previewing before printing. Low cost per photo for thermal dye.

Needs optional adapters for some memory card formats. Photo lifetime is not rated.

Sony DPP-FP90 review

Compact and well organised, with plenty of features

Compact and lightweight ; Reasonably quick

Poor software ; Quite expensive

Despite some key strengths, ultimate results are a shade disappointing considering the running costs

It's not value for money, but for a printer that's easy to operate and tote around, the Sony DPP-FP90 is certainly worth a look.
