Colors were true and vivid, the detail is second only to the Canon, and ink-jet prints were satisfying. And there are no ergonomic drawbacks. At the price, the Epson stands alone. Fetches photos from the camera into an on-screen photo album, lets user adjust colors, contrast and so on, and keeps file sizes small enough not to bog down most PCs. Nor do you get a range of possible adjustments to choose from.
Every adjustment is made with a sliding control.
Unless you have an experienced eye or a frame of reference, it's more guesswork than the other software. Images were the most detailed of any in the test. Printed on high-quality paper and tweaked with software, these pictures do a convincing imitation of a 35mm photo. And they stand up to enlargement. With built-in microphone, add voice annotation to pictures.
