Reviews of the Epson PictureMate Flash 280

CNET Review
The Good: Prints quickly; print quality is good; a built-in CD burner makes backing up memory cards a breeze.
The Bad: Pricey.
The Bottom Line: The Epson PictureMate Flash combines the great features of the PictureMate Snap with an added CD burner, but asks a hefty price. We don't think the burner's worth the extra $100, so go with the PictureMate Snap and pack a few USB thumbdrives instead.
