just what I hoped for.......2007-01-29

I just received this product in the mail it took just a few minutes before it was up and running. It is more than I hoped for the pictures are crisp and all things you can do wiyh this printer are great. I would recomened this printer to anyone.

Easy to use!.......2007-01-22

I got myself a digital camera for Christmas. The bundle I saw online was to come with a printer as well but as luck would have it there was none in stock when I got to the store. Fom the reviews I read on the one it was to come with I didn't think I would be missing much not getting it though. After taking quite a few pictures I decided to look into a printer and came across this one... I read everyone's reviews and decided to bid on it. All I can say is as far as I care it is a nice printer! It's EASY to use! To me that's important, I hate having to read manuals for the simplest of things! This was easy enough I read the manual only to figure out how to put the ink in! It's quiet, it's quick and the quality matches the pics I've been getting developed at Walgreens for years. I haven't played much with the extra's but did learn how to crop the pic and put a frame around it just from playing with it. I have only had this a week now but would highly recommend it on my experiences so far!

Your own little photo shop.......2006-11-23

Bought the HP375 for my wife because she is computer illiterate. I got one on Amazon for $50, including 2 batteries. Put some fresh ink in, paper, and within minutes she was printing 4x6 prints out. I would much rather look at prints on my PC screen, but 4 months later, she's still cranking out pics of the grandchildren. They look every bit as good as from the photo shop. It reads the SD or CF cards, but she prefers a USB drive. This allows us to store on the PC, and move pics of interest to the USB drive for her to print.

Great little printer.......2006-07-16

This printer is a great inexpensive way to be able to print photos on the go.

The print quality is as good as my HP 2575 printer (even impresses my wife who doesn't like digital photography) and the speed is about 45-60 seconds per 4X6 print.

Plusses:
Pic bridge allows easy photo printing from a camera enabled cel phone though a USB cable.

Many different formats of media card readers are included for very easy printing from a wide variety of media formats (compatible with most digitcal cameras out there).

Optional battery (usualy not included) allows photo printing anywhere! The printer is small so you can take it on vacation with you and print out the lasting memories in minutes.

Optional bluetooth adapter (not included) allows easy printing from a bluetooth enabled device.

Optional #100 grey ink cartridge (not included) for printing true black and white photos.

Minuses:
The pictures may take a few minutes to dry, personally, I'd let them sit for 5-10 minutes to make sure that they're as dry as possible before passing them around (you can pass them around before that, but handle by the edges and don't rub the ink, it might smudge). Most of the time the pictures are dry by the time the next print is finished.

I am enjoying this printer and I'm looking forward to taking it with me on my next vacation!

nothing is perfect!.......2006-03-15

Pretty good printer ruined by print stickiness problem.......2006-09-19

I have had this for about a year - great looking results, especially if corrected and printed from a good software package. The stickiness problem seems insurmountable. I have tried several different papers and drying times up to 3 weeks, but they will always stick to photo album transparent material (have tried several brands). I wish HP would sought this problem out - also occurs with prints from other HP printer models. Finally bought a Cannon Selphy dye-sub printer which does not have this problem.

Quantity not quality.......2005-05-04

At the time of purchase I was considering a few cameras. I not only considered the individual cost but also the price of paper and ink. At the time I thought that I had made the right choice by selecting the most cost efficient item. The printer is very easy to use and prints quickly. For quick prints where quality is not that important this printer is great. If you want quality pictures this printer does not even come close to its counterparts. My friend bought the Kodak printer the same day. Her printer is slower and runs out of ink faster but the prints are phenomenal. My prints come out more quickly but the quality is just not there even when set to all of the best options. I wish now that I had gone another route. The printer has just one color cartridge for all colors, however if you print a lot of one color (example pictures at the ocean) then other prints look oddly greenish or redish without the cartridge suggesting a change. I also have a problem with stickiness, I have tried both the premium HP paper as well as other brands and it comes out sticky. The pictures stick to my frames and scrapbook covers even after several hours of drying time. For quick pictures to pin on a bulletin board or give to kids this is great, but for memorable lasting photos this isin't the best bet.

Disappointed in NY.......2005-04-26

At first I loved this printer, it is simple to use and can be used alone or through your pc. Unfortunately the photos never dry. At first I thought it was because I either framed them or put them in an album before they had a chance to dry. I then printed some and let them sit out to dry for weeks and the photos never dried. Any photos that I have framed eventually stick to the glass, particularily the darker spots of the photo. I even got a new printer from HP and still encountered the same problem...has anyone else had this problem? (Yes I am using the correct HP paper and ink)

A great little workhorse!.......2004-09-18

This is a dandy little workhourse that will generate countless 4 x 6 photographs from your digital camera with no hassle or fuss. The HP 245 is a small, tight little package that you can easily pack away and take along on trips.
The HP 245 really helps make the "digital darkroom" a reality, even during trips. I take mine on my boat together with a small laptop computer, and can generate high-quality 4 x 6 photos right on the spot, after taking shots with various digital cameras. The HP 245 has a built-in CF card reader and also reads various other popular media and you can easily print directly from the CF card or other media even without the laptop too. The color LCD allows you to simply insert the CF card (or other medium) and simply select what picture you want to print--without the computer. This also means that you don't need to bring a card reader along if you have your HP 245 since it functions as a digital media reader.
My HP 245 installed effortlessly on my IBM Thinkpad notebook computer (IBM TP 600E) running Windows XP, and is now my main printer for 4 x 6 photos and of course is the only printer I take along on trips. It is great fun to go on trips, take photos, and then give friends nicely framed photos the next day, or later the same day. Frankly, I never realized how much fun it was to have a printer along on trips. Most printers nowadays are big and bulky. This one is not.

The quality of the prints from the HP245 is excellent -- it uses the Type 57 tri-color cartridge which is the same cartridge that several bigger printers use. The photos are crisp, bright, and professional. This printer produces very decent 4 x 6 prints that look great framed on one's living room table, wall, or whatnot.

I also have the HP145 which is exactly the same except that it lacks the color LCD which allows you to view the pictures without a computer, although it will print out a little index of thumbnails for you to select from. When I needed a second printer I went with the 245 because the cost had come down. Either is excellent.

This printer is awesome!.......2004-09-16

I gave this printer to my Brother for Christmas 2 years ago. While I was visiting him last week in Montana, we printed out the pictures I took. they turned out better then regular film. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I plan to buy myself one.

Product Description

Weighing under 1 pound, Pretec's DV-4200i is a compact, tape-less digital camcorder that can also function as a digital still camera. The DV-4200i is the first and only product to reach 30frames-per-second real-time, using MPEG-4 encoding/decoding and AAC audio. With an A/V-in feature, users can transfer old videos from different media types to MPEG-4 files, stored on flash memory cards, that can later be transferred to other storage media. Pretec's DV-4200i is a convenient way of capturing today's and tomorrow's images as well as bringing old videos into the modern era.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Pretec DV4200i is a revolutionary MPEG-4 digital camcorder with 2.1-megapixel digital still camera. This tapeless digital camcorder is capable of storing up to 3 hours of video--at VHS quality or better--with an optional 512 MB memory card. The included 64 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card will hold approximately 20 minutes of video.

Still images can be taken at a resolution of 2.1 megapixels--for prints up to 8 x 10 inches--making the DV4200i one of the highest resolution camcorders with still image capability available as of March, 2003.

Using high-compression MPEG-4 technology with patented techniques of Advanced Simple Profile, including quarter-pel motion estimation, the DV4200i is the world's first camcorder to reach 30 frames-per-second using MPEG-4 encoding/decoding.

The DV4200i is practical for every office or family use, offering 30fps and AAC audio, which compresses much more efficiently than older formats such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

With the AV-in feature of the DV4200i selected, you can transfer all your favorite movies or recordings from different media--VHS tape, VCD, DVD, etc.--to MPEG-4 video.

Other features include:

1.8-inch TFT (transreflective) color LCD screen
USB 1.1 interface
Rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 60 minutes of recording
NTSC/PAL output
2x digital zoom

GREAT CAMERA FOR PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-01-17

This is a review for the Pretec DV-4200i. I was looking for an SD camcorder and I can tell you that I got a LOT more with this camera! The camera shoots at 30fps (currently the ONLY one at this price at MPEG4 quality). It also will record your VHS and DVD tapes onto it so then you can transfer it to your computer! I've transfered and videotaped all kinds of things and sent them to friends. If you have old home movies....transfer them to your computer with the camera and then save them on disk! It also is a fairly good Digital still camera. It is also an mp3 recorder and audio recorder. THERE IS ONE REVIEW FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE THAT STATES THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR THIS CAMERA......THIS IS WRONG!!!!!! THEY DO HAVE REPLACEMENT BATTERIES AT WWW.PRETEC.COM!!!!!!
I use this all of the time and if you are looking for an awesome little video camera.....THIS IS IT!!!!!! The software that is included with it is AWESOME also. It lets you edit and transfer the videos OR still images. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this camera. If you are looking for a camera that shoots DVD quality....THIS IS NOT THE ONE FOR YOU!!!!! So spend the money to get one. For the price, and what this little camera does (VHS quality) it is well worth it! Remember, MPEG4 is the NEW format file. Lets say you shoot a 6 min. video....It will save at MP4 @ 20 mb. Compared to the 800mb at the old AVI file. It compresses it very well and the video looks great!
Cudos to Pretec!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also there is a new camera coming out from PRETEC that does shoot at DVD quality.

No Replacement Battery.......2004-09-11

I purchased the DV-4200i from Amazon as soon as it was available. It is a fine product. There are 2 major exceptions however.

1. You can not buy a replacement battery. I have been in contact with Pretec with no success. I have searched the internet and local stores. No one sells this battery. I suggest that amazon stop selling this product until batteries are available.

2. I had to buy my own software to combine clips taken with the camera. The company did not know where I could buy the program nor did they suggest a product name. I did the research and found that ACE is a fine program to combine the clips. I passed this info on to the company.

It is a shame that such a fine product should have such major shortcomings. I wonder if their purchasing Dept. gets the batteries from. The won't tell me.

The battery is a rechargeable Li-ion 7.4 700mAh. It is proprietary battery.
if anyone who is reading this knows where I may buy the batteries, please email me at

Pretec? The leadind CF card maker?.......2004-01-19

This is not a review, I just want to make sure that the 'Pretec'
is the famous 'Pretec' I knew for a long time? For they made very high quality CF cards.

What about Samsung? Nothing to expect!

Cheap piece of plastic!.......2003-10-09

First of all I was highly unimpressed with the appearance and "feel" of the unit. Second, I went to load the supplied CD and it was either a blank, or a defective copy. I checked my CD Drive to be sure and it loaded other software with no problem. So, I guess I can't really comment on the performance of the unit, as I never got to the point of shooting anything with it. I have waited some time for the release of this Camcorder and was quite dissapointed with its "cheap construction". There was no written manual supplied with the unit, so I assumed that the instructions to be on the supplied CD, which as I said, would not load onto my computer. I drew a blank, I will now go back to the Mini DV technology, or wait for the Samsung unit to be released. I have returned the unit to Amazon.
