There’s no question that using Pricerunner can save you money. For example, this Sony DPP-MP1, a dedicated photo printer, comes under the new Photo Printer section. The BEST PRICE listed on Pricerunner is just £74.97* from Unbeatable. But watch out, the same product costs £254.46* from a different retailer. http://uk.pricerunner.com/computing/peripherals/printers/126945/prices
*All prices given include VAT and delivery.
Pricerunner currently lists 765 printers which can be filtered by their photo printing ability (this narrows it down to 80 with comparable prices from up to 23 retailers for any one product).
It’s no wonder that that at 13:30 today (UK time) 5,287 people were using Pricerunner – check the latest (live) figures on Pricerunner’s homepage.
Magnus Wiberg, founder of Pricerunner said: “What this actually means is there is little need to 'shop around' we've done it for the visitor already by collecting as many prices from the web as we can - saving the visitor time as well as money!”
Should you decide you need a new camera to go with it simply take a look at the digital camera section and see how much you could save by doing your research!
For example, the Canon PowerShot S45 (in the Digital Cameras section on ricerunner.com). Best price is from PRC at £321.95. But be careful, if you buy it elsewhere, the same product could cost you £448.
Photo printers have improved dramatically over the past few years. Their output can now easily be mistaken for traditional photographs. Only a couple of years ago, purchasing a photo printer meant shelling out £30,000.
Today, you can pay less than £150 for a photo printer that produces output which looks and feels very much like a traditional darkroom print. Epson was the first company to reach this level of quality, but Canon and Hewlett-Packard have followed close.
If you want your own dark room, you'll find that a photo printer can provide you with more control and flexibility than an online service.
