Canon goes cheap
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.

Great Printer, Fun to Use
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!

A great little machine
It is hard to imagine to get anything better for the price. The printing quality is excellent and it is very user friendly and simple to operate.

Excellent Product
Excellent printer, photo quality 4x6 prints. Does not require a computer. Accepts most memory cards, connects directly to Canon cameras. Highly recommended.

I am very disappointed
The picture quality was good but each cassete would print a few pictures (no more than 6 when it should have printed 36) and then it refused to print and the cartridge shredded with pink film coming out and tearing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this worthless piece of junk. It happened with 2 seperate cassetes. I will NEVER buy a Canon product again.
