To begin with i got this with my C310 digi camera and was a bit daunted by it to tell u the truth. After a little bit of time reading the manual i got the hang of it though. The device is pure plug n play lovliness, sits beatifully next to my PC and really does look cool!! I am as i write this setting it all up, which is straight forward for anyone who has ever used any plug n play device before. It really is like having your very own lab in your front room, the picture quality is also fantastic( i have never used one before so i dont have much to comapre it against) even though the camera i use is only 4mega pixels. Doesnt take too long for the printer to start and finish either, just a minute or so. comes out dry too!!
There is a slot in the side that allows you to input a card reader or another camera allowing you to print from another digital camera. There is a single button on the top of the device that when on acts like a ring of green light, think XBOX360. There is also a three tier light process for when the camera is charging on the dock, and when the third light comes on its charged.
There are downsides to this technology. For one the camera may well sit great on the printer dock, however, it isnt very sturdy and could easily be knocked off. There is the cost of consumables. You can buy colour and paper kits. These are available with 160 sheets and a colur cartridge at £39.99 each. The ink lasts just long enough to print 160 colour pictures. The camera gives you a warning message when it is running out.
The camera comes with full instructions, connections via USB and a mains lead with a plug on it. There is no additional software, and the PC picks up the new hardware like any other plug n play device. This printer also prints without the aid of the PC and works just as well. Completley portable.
Overall very good product, works well, looks very cool next to your PC. May not be essential piece of kit has you dont really need to print especially with this digi age, but with a good picture its nice to have in your hand has opposed to just on your desktop. Worth it, treat yourself u know u want to!!!

Not a bad review! A bit more content would push my rating up higher, but it does contain lots of good info.
