Lexmark X4550
Price: $199.99 - $199.99
Easy to use and well priced for a wifi printer05/10/09
- Pros:
- Easy to set up and use, wifi works great! Scans well
- Cons:
- b/w text printing is clearly not good enough for business use, tends to spit out the papers on the floor.
I bought this printer after my computers usb ports started acting funny and figured a wifi printer was the way to go.
I got it working on my laptop running XP as advertised in less than 5 minutes (tip: follow the instructions exactly, or you will have problems).
Its fairly fast and prints full color images well, but I still need to borrow a laser printer to print business text documents, the print quality simply looks way to much like a low grade inkjet (jagged edges of letters, inconsistent black color, etc.), similar or maybe even a bit worse than the cheapest HP inkjets out there.
I would therefore not recomend this to anyone intending to use it in their business, as a home printer it should do fine.
Ps
There is a (more expensive) model, think it is called x7650 which according to Cnet does have very good print quality so I´d recommend ponying up the extra dollars and skip this mid-range version.

- Pros:
- small, light, different and great pics in good light
- Cons:
- No image stabilizer, forget high iso
As most reviewers concur there is something very special with this camera, I own several and none have the same "wow" factor (anyone who sees it wants to hold it).
The "smart touch" buttons that change function to allways give you inmediate access to what is needed in every situation in plain genius, a big leap in user interface for digicams.
Picture quality is very good, BUT you do need a steady hand (or tripod) to avoid getting a blurry pic once in a while due to the lack of any mechanical stabilization and forget low-light shots w/o flash since high iso is very grainy and noisy (again a mini-tripod will save the day).
The flash works fine though, even if red-eye is a bit more prominent than with similar cams.
For me it's a bit like the Ipod, even though there are better alternatives I find myself using it just cause I love the design and the way it "feels".
There are better and cheaper cameras out there, but if you get this one you will probably end up loving it, I did....
