  1. not in any easy setup. i think kodak were working on one. You can get one of those easydoc printer things that will let you doc your camera and print straight onto snap size prints.


  2. No, but you can get a mobile printer.

  3. No there isn't, but mobile printers are available. They featured some on the gadget show that were key rings and worked by bluetooth (if you were to take the picture on your phone!!!)  

    I think Epson are quite the master at the mobile printers so try

    them.

    Hope this helped

  4. No. The camera manufacturers have gone down the line of having docks and dedicated printers, rather than printing straight from the camera. No doubt one of the reasons is that a camera which had this facility would have to be large to hold the paper and the modern trend is towards ever smaller cameras. No doubt the view is taken that the ability to see pictures on the screen is adequate.

  5. There is a portable printer that can instantly print from your digital camera.

    Polaroid PoGo

    2x3 prints

    Canon also makes the portable dye-sub Selphy printers. They can run off a battery pack and can print out credit card sized photos or 4x6 photos in about 60 secs.

  6. It seems an obvious thing, doesn't it? But on close scrutiny, you will quickly realise that there is only a small market for it. Most people who snap away with digital cameras are satisfied with merely looking at them to make sure that they're OK. Few really want a hard copy on the spot or very soon after snapping. Most people go home and print them or send them to friends via the net. The only application that needed quick prints soon after they were taken did not use even a portable printer. This was a adventure tour company that had a photographer taking the photos of the clients white-water rafting up in the mountains and wanted to sell the prints before the clients left the base camp. They used a carrier pigeon to carry the memory card from the photographer to base and the prints were ready for the clients before they left.

  7. WILL BE TO BULKY.

  8. Kodak has a system called 'EasyShare' and that comes with a docking station that allows you 'dock' your camera.  Bought the camera over 5 years ago and have since decided against the docking station though.  In the UK I would put the photos on a USB stick and have them printed at Boots or Jessops where you can do it yourself.
