Here is my full review:
http://www.scrapjazz.com/resources/article_326.shtml
Overall, I’m thrilled with the performance and convenience of the Epson PictureMate. If I had one wish, it would also print 5” x 7” and panoramic prints for some added variety. This will be a wonderful machine for those late night scrapbook pages I create. When the idea hits, I don’t have to wait for the photos to arrive from the developer, nor will I have to sacrifice quality from printing them at home.

Works great for me

wish it printed 5X7

I have one and love it. I can either edit on the computer, or print directly from the card or camera. I carry it to family functions. In fact at Christmas now, I take a family grouping picture which I can give to my siblings right away.
I have the original, and since then a model has come out which allows you to view the picture before printing. While this is nice, it is NOT enough to make me buy a new one.
It actually prints more than 100 prints per cartridge, and I love this.
This camera has flown all over the country in it's carrying case and so far no problems.
My print cost is approx 16Cents per pring.
