Canon just added two new players to its roster of Selphy portable photo printers: the CP770 and CP760, both heavily marketed to families interested in printing photos directly off their phones and digital cameras. We liked its full-size sibling, the Selphy CP740, so we're looking forward to checking these out.

Let's take a look:

Selphy CP760:

  • $100
  • Familiar rectangular shape
  • 2.5-inch color TFT screen
  • Features Canon's "Portrait Image Optimize" technology for light photo fixes on the go.
  • Print resolution: 300x300 dpi
  • Connects via PictBridge, USB, IrDA, or directly through memory card slots

Selphy CP770:

  • $150
  • Shaped like a bucket you'd take to the beach, with a printer on top and storage underneath for accessories
  • Number of buttons has been simplified from previous models
  • 2.5-inch color TFT screen
  • Print resolution: 300x300 dpi
  • Connects via PictBridge, USB, IrDA, or directly through memory card slots



Both printers feature Canon's image-preservation technology that spreads a thin layer of lamination over the photo to reduce bleeding and smudging.

Canon also offers two optional accessories for the printers: a Bluetooth adapter ($50) for wireless printing and an external battery pack ($80).
