What They're Saying About: The Canon Selphy CP510 Photo Printer

One of the best things about the smaller dedicated photo printers is that many of them are dye sublimation (known as dye sub) printers, which means they use a solid color source rather than liquid ink. The result is usually vibrant color that is practically indistinguishable from professional printed photos. The Canon Selphy CP510 is a dye sub printer that is also extremely inexpensive, offers good photos, connects directly to PictBridge cameras, and has an optional battery for travelers.

Price: $52 - $190
Type: Color photo printer

Good Gear Guide Review

Rating: 3 out of 5

Liked: Excellent print speeds, economical, Optional Battery back for mobility

Disliked: Looks ugly, Below average image quality

In Short: Though not a looker, lacking in versatility and slightly short on image quality, the Selphy CP510 is still worthy of your attention. That reasonable price and those brilliant running costs make this a good, cheap model.

PC Magazine Review

Rating: 4 out of 5

Liked: Low price and low running cost. Fast performance.

Disliked: Thin lines, such as bicycle spokes, appear ragged when printing from a computer (but not from a camera).

In Short: The Canon Selphy CP510 Compact Photo Printer offers both a low initial cost and a low cost per print, along with excellent speed and high-quality photos at up to 4 by 8 inches.

Steve's Digicams Review

Rating: N/A

Liked: It produces brilliant 4 x 6-inch prints in about 58 seconds, 4 x 8-inch prints in 106 seconds or credit card size prints in 40 seconds. Setup and use is easy and simple. The CP510 prints are indistinguishable from conventionally processed film prints and are just as durable.

Disliked: N/A

In Short: If you own any PictBridge-compatible camera (most are that were made after mid-2004) then the CP510 can be your ultimate personal photo printer.
