Service & support

Canon Selphy DS-700

Prints directly from memory cards, digicams, and cell phones; TV hookup; produces clean, high-quality photos; small, portable form factor; handy remote.

No battery or USB power available; some banding noted when printing black-and-white photos; TV or PC required for cleaning cycle.

A wonderful family photo printer that makes it a snap to view and print color photos.

Canon Selphy DS700 Compact Photo Printer

By most measures, the Canon Selphy DS700 Compact Photo Printer ($199.99 direct) is a typical ink jet-based dedicated photo printer, with the ability to print from PictBridge cameras, memory cards, and a PC. Its claim to fame is that instead of offering...

Connects to most TVs to let you view and print images from memory cards. Also prints from computers and PictBridge cameras. Output is effectively smudge-proof

Direct printing from memory cards offers limited features, especially when not connected to a TV. Print cost is high for a dedicated photo ink jet

In addition to printing from a PictBridge camera, memory card, or computer, the Canon Selphy DS700 Compact Photo Printer lets you plug into most TVs to let you view photos on a memory card and choose which ones to print. Print speed and photo quality...

Canon SELPHY DS700

Targeted more at the consumer electronics user than the PC user, the DS700 is an inkjet-based printer that can print directly from a digital camera or...

Competitive print per dollar ratio

Relatively poor print quality

This unit has plenty of features and is intuitive to use. As a printer for the user who wants to print independently of a PC, it does quite well. However, its print quality in our tests was not as good across the board as competitive Epson and HP...

Canon Selphy DS700

As the boundaries between your home PC and home cinema continue to blur, it's hardly surprising to see new products making full use of the largest display in your house - your TV. One such example is the Canon Selphy DS700 printer

Great quality prints, Vibrant colours, Razor-sharp definition

Limited feature-set, Absence of image-editing functions

Canon's Selphy DS700 is a great idea for all you PC-phobes. However, if Canon thinks it's cornered the market, it'll have to think again

Great present for my parents

Coupled this printer with a Powershot A510, my parents couldn't be happier. Prints great photos. Portability is a must - my mom is travelling to Vietnam and taking this printer and camera - needed to print pictures on the spot for her family. Couldn't...
