Sony has announced the DPP-FP97 and DPP-FP67, two new portable printers for photo printing on-the-go.

Both models produce 4 x 6-inch photo prints, however the DPP-FP97 model prints photos in about 45 seconds, while the FP67 model takes around 63 seconds.

The FP97 model also has a few more added functionalities, including an auto touch-up feature to correct white balance focus, exposure and red-eye, and HDMI output for high-definition slideshow on your HDTV.

Also added to the DPP-FP97 are frame, scrapbooking and calendar templates for personalising photos, and a software keyboard for personalising greeting cards.

Both new printers are compatible with most memory cards and are due for release in the States in May. The DPP-FP97 will cost $200, while the DPP-FP67 will cost $120, with presales beginning in April at the Sony Style website.

No European pricing or availability has been announced as yet but we'll bring it to you when we get it.
