Right - there are cute little stand-alone printers out there
that you just plug the camera into and pop out 4x6 prints.
As I mentioned in another post, I have in hand a Casio QV-R40
which I am checking out for a friend as a replacement for his
Olympus Stylus P&S. I am thinking it is a perfect substitue.
It has basicly a one button push for "ready to go" and a very
quick (they say fastest digital P&S) response time. It seems
on a par w/ my Pentax Zoom90wr in that respect. It's sub $300
at MallWart, to boot. The default settings are just right for
his intentions - it will be the rare shot indeed where much
will need to be changed.
To us "real photograhers" here on the PDML, it leaves much to
be desired - but for someone who just wants to have some 4x6
prints of friends, parties, and fun trips afield it will beat
the blankity blank out of film and processing financially in
no time at all - not to mention the instant gratification
factor.
