Casio's PCP-1000 and PCP-200 photo printers boast plenty of LCD

An LCD on a printer is no uncommon sight these days, but we've got to hand it to Casio for totally blowing out the concept. Its new printers, the PCP-1000 and PCP-200, hit 7-inches and 3.5-inches, respectively, with the 7-incher (pictured) running at 480 x 234, while the 3.5-inch keeps things respectable at 240 x 320. Of course, it's still hard to justify one of these things for editing and reviewing your photos when odds are you'll have a perfectly good PC sitting a few feet away, but when has that sort of logic stopped us in the past? The PCP-1000 is hitting Japan September 20th for 61,950 yen ($547 US), while the PCP-200 will run you lucky folk 50,400 yen ($445 US) on September 7th.

It looks like an 80s representation of the PC of the future.

Yes, but looks like a "portable pc" (prior to lap-note book era).

Noticed there was a handle on the back of that printer. It would be nice since it weights about 4.5lbs. You could take it with you and use it to doctor up photos with text on the go. It would make sense too as they talk about it being able to print postcards with its internal address book. Now I don't have to buy those cheap looking ones at the gift shop!

The new Epson PictureMate Dash has a 3.6" screen. I think the point of this one is all of its other functions, but I'd still trust the print quality of the PictureMate more.
