Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Photo Printer Review
by Tom Warhol

Navigation


Formats/compatibility (9.00)
The 5300 is compatible with USB devices and has two ports for plugging cameras into. It also is compatible with multiple direct print formats such as PictBridge, DPOF (Direct Print Order Format), MIPC (Mobile Image and Printing Consortium), PTP/IP (Picture Transfer Protocol over Internet Protocol), Nikon’s image transfer technology for sharing images over a wireless LAN.








Media slots (4.00)
The EasyShare 5300 can support the full complement of standard memory cards, including CompactFlash type I and II, SD, MM, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, and xD memory cards. It also supports Memory Stick Duo, miniSD, and MicroSD with optional adapters.
 
The slots are located in the front of the printer, with no door or cover. An LED indicates whether or not there is a card installed—flashing when the card is being read and solid to indicate that there is a card in the printer.
 
Kodak reports that the card readers can only read images up to 8 megabytes or 12 megapixels in size. However, the ES5300 would only display some of our stock test images that were larger than 5 megabytes on a CompactFlash card. We also tried using test images within the 5-mb to 6-mb range taken with our lab cameras, the Canon 30D and the Nikon D200 (8.2 and 10.2 effective mp, respectively), and only a select few of these images would display. Other all-in-one photo printers in our labs, such as the Canon Pixma MP600 and HP Photosmart C5180, and even most compact photo printers were able to display and print these images.
 
Wireless interface (2.00)
Bluetooth 1.2 connectivity is possible with the purchase of an optional adapter. No other wireless connections are possible with the ES5300.
 
Network (0)
Other than USB connected network hubs, the EasyShare 5300 is not compatible with networking.
