Advantages: easy to use, excellent results Disadvantages: Haven't found any
.... This was very easy to do, but the quality of the photos was not very good because of the low resolution on the camera on my mobile phone. I probably won't use this feature very much. The photos were still of a reasonable quality though, so if I'm out and about without my camera, I could take a picture on my phone and print it when I get home.
I find it is really easy to use. There is a colour LCD screen that can be lifted up when in use. Both paper trays (where paper is inserted and where photo comes out) also fold down which makes it much easier for storage. The LCD screen allows you to view the photos before selecting the ones that you want to print. Photos can be printed in a variety of forms. The printer only prints on 6 x 4 size paper. (The paper tray holds 20 sheets at a time.) Photos can be printed with or without a border. Two can...

Advantages: great quality photographs Disadvantages: possibly a little bulky when compared to other printers
...I bought this printer to accompany my new Canon E0S digital camera. I wanted to buy a good quality printer that would give me good quality prints... This printer does exactly that! The prints are very sharp and look just like they would if printed in a shop. I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend to all who are looking for a portable printer. It is easy to set up, all you have to do is insert your memory card and view your pictures on the handy screen. You can even burn your images to disk which is a handy little feature and saves a lot of time rather than transferring your images to a p.c. Overall, I think that it is the best printer that I have bought so far for digital printing. The overall cost per print is not the cheapest but for quality, I suppose you always get what you pay for!
A+++...

Advantages: EASE OF USE, QUALITY OF PHOTO'S, COMPACT SIZE Disadvantages: NO LCD BUILT IN, TAKES AWHILE TO PRINT
...I brought mine on ebay for £20. It's compact (about the size of a large loaf of bread) . It takes 2 minutes to print a 10 x 15cm photo but prints outstanding photo's. There are quicker printers but on many you have to wait for the prints to dry whereas the Epson prints 'touch' dry photo's
It doesn't have a built in LCD but you can print an index of your photo's from a memory card. It has a number of memory card slots on the front and you can also use the USB connector on the back. I use mine with a SanDisk which I use to store computer edited photo's.
The print cartridge's can be a bit expensive (£17+). If you shop around you can find them for around £5. ukdvdr.co.uk is currently selling compatible T5570 cartridge's for .99p, i've used a couple, they produce excellent results.
This is a 'stand alone' printer which needs...
