There was a short review of the Kodak 5300 in the Technofile column of
today's Syracuse Post-Standard. Find it at
http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/tec111807.html.

This columnist doesn't write for the techie/geek or for the business IT
guy. He writes for the everyday person with a home computer, one who
maybe doesn't know a megabit from a modem. His space is limited, so
don't expect exhaustive reports or comparison testing. It's just his
first impression, based on a few hours of using the printer.

TJ - Kodak's whole line of digital cameras, and now the MF printer, are
especially great for the non-computer literate user. Together with a
docking station, the cameras make printing and/or emailing pictures very
simple. Now, with their new line of printers, the non-geeks among us have
an even easier approach to producing beautiful prints themselves. I would
say also that the images that I've printed from my brother-in-law's Kodak
camera were excellent. Extremely sharp, good color gamut, excellent auto
exposures. I have a personal problem with using a "dumbed-down" system,
but that is really my problem!

I have all the negatives that my father took from the 1930's to the 1950's
with Kodak cameras with fold-out bellows. I've printed them in my darkroom
prior to the advent of digital cameras and made excellent 11x14 b/w prints.
More recently I've scanned some of the negs and made fine digital prints.
I have two of these cameras sitting on a shelf on my bookcase, along with my
own Brownie Reflex from preteen days. The Brownie pix weren't that sharp,
but that camera did introduce me to photography. I hope that Kodak resumes
its prevous place as a major player in the area of photo imaging.

BTW, the second link in the article you mentioned is a very good, simple
treatise on the overly expensive inkjet OEM inks.

Not likely, unless he's using it for an historical reference. The
Syracuse Newspapers stopped printing the Herald Journal in September
2001. At the same time they changed the corporate name to match their
remaining newspaper, The Post-Standard.
