Comment: Nice and compact, excellent quality! With over 40 in use, we've had no problems, great little photo printer.

Summary: Needed some fine tuning.
Comment: I picked this little printer up at best buy for a mere 39.99 and for the price my expectations were not sky high. I got home, set it up, fired up Adobe Lightroom and started printing. At first i chose a picture that was taken at night indoors in low light with flash, as soon as it finished (around 45 seconds) i was sorely disappointed. The picture was VERY dark, i picked it up and compared it to my monitor and threw it in the trash. I then proceeded to print a very bright picture of a sunflower taken in full light, again, very very dark, trash. So i called Canon after being unable to find a fix online. May i say that the persons at canon really need to at least act like they know exactly what they are talking about. As soon as a said the format was RAW... i could only picture the guy on the other end of the line scratching his head. Their fix was to print from the windows printing application instead of using a third party program such as lightroom. So after fooling with the saturation and brightness in the properties menu for the printer and avoiding lightroom i was able to get some fairly decent prints. The material quality from the prints is top notch and with some fooling around it is very possible to get some decent prints from this little machine.
** Does not come with a printer cable, what printer does these days?
** Comes WITH a 5 photo cartridge and 5 4x6 photo papers.
** A 108 photo kit goes for 25 bucks in-store so thats 23.15 cents per photo.
Stop the stupid reviews people, im sick of people getting DSLRS and giving them two stars because the movie feature isnt very good. Argh.

Summary: Canon goes cheap
Comment: Just got the printer from Amazon to discover Canon was too cheap to supply a USB cable to hook this beast to my computer. Let's figure USB cables add about 15 cents to the cost of the printer (my vendor charges me a buck, and I'm not a multinational company), and Canon can't even supply this basic necessity. It tells you everything else you need to know about this printer with the just decent image quality, large footprint and awful customer service.
Steer clear. Go Epson or Kodak if you're looking for this type of printer.

Summary: Great Printer, Fun to Use
Comment: I can't lie...I bought this printer simply because a friend of mine has it and I've seen firsthand how much better the images look compared to those I print on my inkjet. Hands down, the dye-sublimination thermal prints are 10x better. Ever notice how the color black looks...almost like a shadow or crayon marks on inkjet prints when you hold them at a certain angle in the light? (Especially on lower gloss paper?) Well, you don't get that with dye-sublimination. That was one of the bigger selling points for me. And sure, you can take pics with your digital, then upload them to Costco or Snapfish and have them printed cheaper than the ink and paper will cost you for this printer. I prefer plugging my camera directly into the Selphy and using Pictbridge and getting my pictures instantly. (What a breeze to use the Selphy!) Using Pictbridge also alleviates the issue others complained about when using the viewer on the Selphy. I will admit the Selphy's viewer is small, but not so bad that it's not worth buying. If you use Pictbridge, you can use your cameras viewer to see the pics before printing them. Just make sure your camera is Pictbridge compatible. For the record, I use a Fuji Finepix S1000fd. My Fuji, combined with the Selphy, is a pretty nifty package. I highly recommend this printer if you want to print your own pictures and you want real images. This little powerhouse is well worth its price and it makes taking and printing pictures fun!
