Customer Rating:
Summary: Great photo printer but not Vista support!
Comment: I have this printer for over 2 years, it is great the print out is the best! I have both ink jet photo printer and this Sony photo printer and the ink jet printer is nowhere close to the DPP-EX50.
I would give this printer 5 stars but Sony support take away 2 of the stars. Like the other reviewer said there is no support for Vista and Sony have no plan on releasing any drivers update for Vista. Typical Sony product great product and no support.

Summary: The VERY best--But doesn't work with Vista
Comment: I have had this printer for over 2 years and it is one of the very very best I have ever seen. But there's one big problem--I upgraded to Vista and found it didn't work. Months of emails later to Sony Tech support, I am told that Sony has no plans to introduce a Vista driver. Be warned!!

Summary: Great little photo printer
Comment: If you want really great color and image sharpness and do not want anything larger than 4" X 6" prints, then this printer is a good choice. I've used it for about two years with no problems. I figured that if I ever wanted a larger print, like an 8" X 10", then I would have a lab do it. Sony does make the ink and paper for this--Look up "Sony SVM-75LS"--it is available from Amazon, among other places. I have to say that the supplied "Picture Gear Studio" software is pretty awful. It is slow and not very user friendly. So that is why I give the printer a 4-star rating and not a 5-star rating.

Summary: Great Quality prints, but expensive to operate
Comment: We received this printer Christmas 2004 from my parents, presumably as a hint that they wanted loads of pictures printed of their new granddaughter. We had just retired an old HP/Kodak printer that was pretty good but not photo-lab quality. We were blindsided by the amazing quality of this Sony printer and went crazy with printing pictures.
Then the ugly truth about this printer reared its head: It's not always easy to find supplies for this machine. As other reviewers noted, you have to replace the ribbion/ink cartridge with every new pack of paper. We live in a small town, so we have to re-order our supplies online. The closest reseller that stocks this stuff is Circuit City, about 35 miles away. (Wal-Mart and Best Buy do not carry the packs.) And it's pretty expensive, too. We worked it out that it costs us 57 cents per print on our PictureStation. We can get them printed elsewhere for 19 to 25 cents a print.
The fact that Sony offers ZERO support, drivers, etc. for this printer on its website is ominous as well. If we had bought this printer ourselves we definitely would have returned it and bought something that was easier to re-supply and find support for.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Quality Printing, But...
Comment: This printer does excellent, quality, professional printing but I cannot recommend purchasing it. Sony has changed the ink cartridge when they came out with the DPP-FP30 & the DPP-FP50 and no longer make the cartridge for this printer. If you purchase this printer, make sure you get a lifetime supply of ink cartridges before buying or you will find that the printer is useless.

Why go out to process your pictures when you could have the DPP-EX50 digital photo printer as your all-in-one photo lab? Featuring built-in photo editing features such as red-eye reduction and automatic color correction via Sony's new Photo Quality Processor, the DPP-EX50 makes printing the perfect picture easier than ever before. And what beautiful prints they are, thanks to the high-quality dye-sublimation printing and the colorfast resistant SuperCoat2 laminated photo paper (sold separately).Connecting the DPP-EX50 is a snap. It includes both Memory Stick and CompactFlash media ports, so you're assured maximum compatibility. It also features a USB 1.1 port for PC connection and a video port for previewing your photos in a slideshow on your television. You can even print directly from your Sony digital camera thanks to its built-in PictBridge software.
