The original post asked about a comparison between the Olympus P-400 and the Epson 1280. Possibly, the subject line became truncated from the original, or maybe the original poster just tied out while writing the subject and didn't finish it ;-) Art John C. Jernigan wrote: Will someone

Thanks to all for your input. After looking at the print quality in a local (an hours drive away) I decided that the P-400's quality didn't justify the large price increase ... so I'm going to place my order for the Epson 1280. Regards, -Nick T. Nick Taylor wrote: Sorry about the off

This is specious experience to say the least, but I looked at the output (in the form of the sample book, and what Olympus likely feels is flattering to the product) from the Olympus at the store the other day and I was seriously underwhelmed by the quality of it's output. Images were uniformly
