    For a photographer looking to transfer their analog films and slides to digital format, the V600 provides an affordable and versatile solution.

  • Olin 8-inch Digital Photo Frame with Printer

    The Olin digital photo frame is such a novel concept that we can't help wonder why someone hasn't done this before. Fortunately, it works exactly how we want it to.

    Specs: Digital photo frame

  • Lexmark Prestige Pro805

    The Pro805 frustrates as much as it innovates with a touchscreen interface and an interesting, iPhone-style app store.

    Specs: Inkjet

  • Lexmark Interact S605

    Lexmark's S605 carries a premium price, but the clever touchscreen features do justify it.

    Specs: Inkjet

  • Epson Stylus Photo TX710W

    Excellent photo quality and average text quality equals a standard result for the TX710W, a multifunction that's great at some tasks and only just OK at others.

    Specs: Inkjet

  • HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One C309g

    The Photosmart Premium is a nifty little multifunction with the added novelty of a touchscreen. It does a great job of plain text, but it's a pity about its colour prints.

    Specs: Inkjet , Photo paper , 3.45 inch

  • Epson Stylus Photo T50

    The T50 is a reasonably priced single-function printer that produces good photos and can handle CDs too, but the ongoing consumable costs and text quality let this inkjet down.

    Specs: CD, Photo paper

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.

    Specs: Inkjet , 3.45 inch
