The $149 HP Photosmart 8050 offers fewer features than the $200 Photosmart 8250, and it is slower, but it delivers better print quality. Like the 8250, the 8050 has a color LCD, four media card slots, and a direct-print port. However, the 8050's LCD is smaller, at 1.8 inches, and it can be difficult to see because it sits vertically on the front panel and doesn't tilt (the 8250's 2.5-inch LCD swivels). The media card slots accommodate most common card formats, though the printer uses the older USB 1.1 connection to upload images to a PC. In addition to working with PictBridge-compatible digital cameras, the direct-print port lets you print photos stored on a USB flash drive.
