Hardware Central have published an interesting test of the PictBridge printing standard, testing a printer and two digicams, which include the 4 megapixel Kodak EasyShare DX6490 digital camera (pictured).

“Digital photography is all about convenience: saving you the chore of going to the camera store or drugstore to buy film, letting you see your shots and delete bad ones instantaneously. Unfortunately, getting physical prints is still the least convenient part of the process. When you’ve just snapped a great picture at a family gathering or business awards dinner, people are going to ask you for a print—never mind that you don’t have your PC and printer handy.

There’s a new one-word answer to this problem: PictBridge, the growing industry standard that lets different brands of digital cameras and dedicated photo printers work together.”
