Reviews of the Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One printer

CNET Review
The Good: The Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One printer has decent-quality prints and scans, a dedicated photo paper tray, two USB ports, a large preview LCD, and inexpensive ink tanks.
The Bad: There are big limitations on features: You can't edit or crop photos from this all-in-one's control panel; project software boots you over to Kodak's online site instead of helping you create projects to print at home; photo printing is four-ink, not six-ink.
The Bottom Line: The EasyShare 5300 printer is Kodak's attempt at creating an easy-to-use, inexpensive all-in-one machine, but we think the company went too far and dumbed it down to where it lacks many of the features that the competition offers.
