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
- $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).
