Internal memory can store 999 photos. Print pack holds both dye roll and paper. Photos are highly water resistant

Good build quality. Excellent interface. Jogwheel

Photos disappointing. Inflexible. Slow

Review of the Canon Selphy ES3 printer

Large LCD, easy to use

Some colour issues, fixed LCD

Overall, the unit is fine for the odd snapshot, but perhaps less so for the more discerning user.

Canon's Selphy ES3 is the latest in quite a long series of snapshot printers that use dye-sublimation technology to produce prints with the look and feel of traditional photo prints. Designed for portability, it is more curvaceous than the Sephy ES2 ...
