  Duration of ownership:30 Days

  Strengths: good quality, sharp pictures

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: 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!

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Small and portable, easy to use and really inexpensive printer.

  Weaknesses: The battery is not standard and it is not included also the LCD screen does not seem as sharp and is a bit small 2", 3" would have been much better.

  Overall Evaluation: It is easy to carry and print directly from your digital camera anywhere. The battery is sold separately and it is not standard (also a bit pricey). I wish Canon had included the battery, however this printer is worth every penny as it is.

  Duration of ownership:6 Weeks

  Strengths: Picture quality, compact size, thermo transfer printing

  Weaknesses: Can't print to regular photo paper

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer to printer photo on regular photo papers. It turned out one can only print to Canon-specific postcard paper, which is much more expensive than the regular page. It also uses special Canon Color Dye Sublimation, Thermal cartridge. But I like the overall photo quality of this printer. And that there is no ink in the cartridge. Overall, it's a nice printer to have

  Strengths: CompactCanon brand

  Weaknesses: cost of thermo transfer cartridges

  Overall Evaluation: This is a great printer but use it wisely.It prints very good photos but make sure you print only the ones you really want to have as the cost of replacement cartridges (thermo transfer) does not make it the cheapest option for pictures.It is super comact, cute and very easy to use.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Great colors and texture

  Weaknesses: Only use Canon-specific paper with postcards on back

  Overall Evaluation: Overall this is a really nice printer. I also have an Epson inkjet photo printer, and find I like it's versatility a little better than the Canon. Price per print is the same, but the Canon has perforated tabs you break off the photo. Having received the printer for free after rebates, it's a good deal. If I were choosing a single printer, not sure this would be my choice.

  Duration of ownership:5 Days

  Strengths: Small form factor, menu system

  Weaknesses: Sorting through photos takes a while

  Overall Evaluation: No matter what brand of camera you prefer (Nikon, Canon, Kodak, Olympus, etc.), this portable photo printer will make your prints come to life. The output quality is great. I think my Epson PictureMate prints are a bit better, but when comparing 4x6 prints...let's be real, they're fine. My main complaint is the speed of thumbing through photos on memory cards. It's a bit slow...probably because I'm using 2GB and 4GB memory cards.With the current $50 rebate going on (12/07), the price is hard to beat. I couldn't find any other reputable photo printer for under $50, period.
