hehe...
asking 1 Q here...
go for A700 or A550...?

a900/a850... not sure about a700 though...

I'd wait for the a700 replacement... might be worth the wait...

Hey guys I'm taking up an event job that requires on-the-spot printing. Any body has portable photo printer? Boleh rent? And how much should I charge? Hmmm.

where la the CZ poison moo...my knees are shivering woo waiting for the poison....hohohoho....!!!

Adui getting malas and malas by day la. (: Any shops to recommend to get cheap and good photo printers? (:

read DCM this month... Moo.

Sony Style KLCC quoted the price of the SAL30M28 at RM999 (SRP)...
Tried it with the A550 body.... nice machine gun hehehe

Moo, i would think that on the spot printer, which i did for events last time, cannot be so portable afterall.. There are some of those printers where u can print by sticking ur memory card in and print from there but i doubt you can find one to rent for cheap..

What are the requirements for printing? Print 4x4 pics? or a4 size pics?

What i can recommend is, get a laptop and a good printer that can print good quality. Hog one table with power ports, for printer and laptop. And print using the photo gloss paper.. If im not mistaken, if your pics has a good resolution, the printing of the pictures should be ok. U cannot expect those pictures where u print from the photoshops la.. those are high tech printers ma.. I saw a few pictures printed on the gloss photo paper the IQ not bad..

But if the client wants the pics at the end of the day, its better if u set up those things and shoot halfway, then after get a friend to post process and print the 1st batch while you shoot the 2nd batch.. Printing takes time =)

And, the gloss paper if im not mistaken is not that cheap..

If u wanna budget budget, do get those printers that has a large capacity of ink. If u have to print alot, then halfway no ink, u cry.. something like this.


This type of printer the quality not bad.. better if u got friends to borrow this equiptment from.. I would lend a helping hand but i xada this type of printer =P my printer cartraige expensive, i think if u used my printer youll lose $$ then earn $$$ lol

edit: by the way, these types of ink, if printed on the photo paper, the ink stays there without smudging, (someone pls clarify this) i think la, coz i have a friend that works in a printer shop and had samples of the pictures printed on photo paper and my hand itchy, i poured water on it and the color didnt run.. i dont recall my friend spraying stuff on it..


Worse come to worse, go for polaroid la =P

Saling poison- mempoison...

exp: when u know u wan the 70200G... so u poison her with the latest LV limited ed~!!.. then in return .. she hv to buy u the lens when u buy her the bag!

Hard choices... but i'll still stick with A700 (or replacement model)... A550 make fully use of liveview.. if u don need them.. i suggest A700 still a better one. But then.. A550 iso performance better...But the A700 build quality.. give me enough reason to stick with that..

lildaredevil906: LOL I just called Kul | Mo0 to rent him a portable photo printer for cheap!

I use this photo paper - it's good - keeps contrast and color pretty matching to the A700 screen. Doesn't smudge.

@ Albert LOLLL after i type so muchhh and so long.. hahahah .. wow, we do have everything in the sony community after all =P

Hahaha yeap just got an offer by our sifu. Need to confirm whether both parties meet the agreement anot then only I decide on the printer. (:

moo, i think that printer (exculding the printer rental) the cost for the paper, each piece is about 80 cents, u can charge up to rm2.00 per-shoot because it's on the fly. prepare 2-3 more cf cards. u dont have to get into the trouble of photoshopping for them, those service of photoshopping, they selling rm20 per A4+shooting+photoshoping. give u a general idea of the pricing.

wah, good luck with your photography assignment Moo!

i have the canon selphy portable printer too..but too bad it can only print 4R only..

which model? and how's the peformance?

plan to get one too...

I wanted to grab it for indoor portrait due to its wide 30mm and relatively big aperture at 2.8 but the MFD turns me off.
