Good photo printer when you need a quick picture

I got this mostly for the convenience;. I can just print out photos quickly from my phone or from an SD card with no fussing around.
The photo quality is on a par with my Canon inkjet printer, but the printing method is radically different, and sort of fascinating to watch. The pictures are also much more resistant to smudging and marks from handling, than the inkjet photo prints. The only thing about it that doesn't get 5 stars is that the picture quality (color density, resolution) is not any better than the inkjet. While it is OK, I guess I expected a bit better because this is, after all, a dedicated photo printer. That said, I am still generally satisfied. Setup was easy -- (in my experience so far, the Canons have always been easier to set up and use than the HP's!) and I was printing photos from my phone almost as soon as it's it running.

This scanner really does what it claims!

I have a LOT of old slides and negatives, and some photos for which the negatives have been lost, and I wanted to digitize all of this. I looked at what was available and read a ton of product reviews and there seemed to be a choice of either cheapie low quality "toys" with poor resolution, or else professional -oriented products at upwards of $1000. And then I saw the Epson V550 and V600. Priced in the lower-middle of this range, they advertise as good a scanning resolution as all but one very expensive product. I checked these out and found that the V550 is the same machine as the V600 --they differ only in that more photo processing software is included with the 600. SInce I already have a photo post-processing app, this didn't matter and I went with the 550. I got lucky ---it was on sale, AND I had a Best Buy percentage-off coupon for which --amazingly-- this product actually *wasn't* on the (always hideously long) list of exclusions!!
But I still had to check out the important thing -- did it really work as claimed? I tested it with some 35MM slides first; it took me a minute to figure out how to insert the slide attachment tray, the instructions for the scanner really could have been written better --but I figured it out, and then tried a few scans. Went thru different resolution settings, etc, and found that at 600DPI or above, it does a pretty good job!! 1200dpi seems best for slides, but the scanning process was VERY slow...so I did most of them at 600, and really couldn't see a difference except when the photo was "blown up" to full screen. Color reproduction was good; there is a "color restorer" function in the V550 software, but since I have another photo app I prefer to use, I did not use it. The included slide scanning attachment holds 4 slides at a time; given the size of the scanner, I felt they could have designed it to do more than 4, but it was really no big deal since each individual slide takes a fixed amount of time to scan which depends only on the dpi resolution setting you use.
Next I tried 35MM negatives. The attachment tray for these holds 2 strips (of up to 5 or 6 exposures each). It has a snap-in "frame" that is supposed to hold the negatives flat for scanning, even if they have become curled; in fact it did a pretty fair job with this, if not absolutely perfect. It is just a bit "fiddly" to place the strips of negatives into the tray, but again, it wasn't a big deal. Once again, I ended up using 600dpi resolution for many of them, going up to 1200 for only a few particular pictures that had a lot of detail or ones I especially intend to make big prints of..
Overall, it is a good product and if you find a sale, it is a real bargain for what you get! --and it will also do all the "usual" scanning stuff such as documents, too, since it is a full size unit.
On the "con" side, it is rather large and bulky, and the instructions really could have been written better ---but I found there are reviews by serious photo enthusiasts which included useful setup information!
It is very slow if used at high resolution --but it will do a good job for those photos you really want to preserve as well as possible.
It is very slow if used at high resolution --but it will do a good job for those photos you really want to preserve as well as possible.
Also, especially with transparencies, you must be careful to keep both the scanner and your slides/negatives clean. I kept a can of that pressurized air spray stuff handy; otherwise every tiny speck of dust will appear as hairs and spots on the scanned photo. As far as I know, this is a problem regardless of which product you buy, so the Epson is probably no worse than any other here. (There is a dust removing feature in the software, but of course any app like this will have *some* effect on your photo content; it is better to just keep really careful with cleaning!)
To sum up --this scanner is a good value for the money!

Good card for drone video

I bought this to use in my Phantom 3 Pro drone camera. So far I have been shooting in 1080p mode (since I have no 4k TV yet!) But for 1080p at least, it works perfectly.

A basically good unit

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for a friend who instructed me to look for an inexpensive DVD player, as they were going to use it only seldom. However, once we had it installed, they belatedly told me that a friend had some blu-ray discs, that they wanted to play, too! SOooo, we are going to return and exchange the item- but not because of any failures in its function... Also, in hindsight, we should have waited just a week or so longer- Next time I went to the store, lo and behold there were 3 new models on the shelf, prolly early stocking now starting up for the Christmas season, and one of them is a blu-ray, at the same price I paid for the DVD player! (next time, I won't buy sthg *just before* the holiday shopping season begins!)

Good choice for no-contract phone (ATT)
on September 8, 2016
Posted by: radio127
Verified Purchase:Yes
I helped a friend to pick this one out, and finally decided on the Samsung because I have a Galaxy S5 which I like. This is sort-of a cut-down version of the S5, with the same form factor, and screen size so close to the same that you can't tell the difference unless you hold the two side by side. Colors really pop on this one, every bit as good, to my eyes anyway, as the S5. The most noticeable difference in use is that the camera is only 5MP, and the battery life, while good, does not compare to the S5. But, it is, IMO, the best phone among the presently available "off-the-shelf" choices for no-contract, unless you want to pay thru the nose!

Perfect bluetooth adapter for older stereo gear
on April 17, 2015
Posted by: radio127
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this advertised and thought, here's a far better way to get a Bluetooth speaker, since I already have an older but perfectly good audio system. The nice thing about this unit is that it has standard RCA plugs and not just that cheap 1/8" stereo plug (which, in my experience, is prone to breakage!). Got it home and had it connected and working in minutes, no "gotchas" or other problems. Now I can play all my MP3's from my fone into a *real* speaker system.

What is the voltage range of the power adaptor, 110-240V?
I want to be able to travel internationally with this. The specifications don't detail this.
Its 100 to 240V, so that should be good in EU (with a plug size adapter) or USA.

Is there a device that enables old, non-blutooth enabled speakers to "read" transmitted bluetooth signals?
is there a device that I can plug very, very old speakers into, that will enable said speakers to receive bluetooth signals from new bluetooth enabled devices?
You cannot drive speakers directly from this device unless they have an integrated amplifier. I am using it with an existing stereo amplifier, which has large speakers connected.
