New Sony Photo Printers Encourage Portability and Creativity
Sony’s new FP97 and FP67 lightweight printers are great for photographers on the go. Both models produce 4 x 6-inch photo prints. The DPP-FP97 model prints photos in about 45 seconds, and the FP67 model prints photos in about 63 seconds.
Photo Editing and Color-Correction On-The-Fly
The auto touch-up feature with the DPP-FP97 model can be engaged to correct common photo problems with the touch of a button. This feature engages technology that corrects white balance, focus, exposure and red eye—all from the 3.5-inch LCD screen right on the unit.
Both new printers are compatible with several types of flash memory cards, including Memory Stick PRO™, Memory Stick PRO™ Duo, SD Memory Card, SDHC, MMC and xD-Picture Card. The DPP-FP97 model also supports Compact Flash® and Microdrive® flash memory cards.
Connect and Share
To enjoy a slideshow in HD, the Sony DPP-FP97 photo printer has an HDMI-out port (although the cable itself is not included), so it can be connected to a Sony BRAVIA® HDTV or other compatible HD television set.
The printer can also be connected to any of Sony’s digital S-Frame models via a USB connection. You can print pictures from the frame directly to the printer.
Pricing and Availability
In May, the DPP-FP97 digital photo printer will be available for about $200, and the DPP-FP67 model for about $120 direct at sonystyle.com, military base exchanges and authorized dealers nationwide. The DPP-FP67 model will also be available at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail). Online presales will begin in April at www.sonystyle.com.
