Two family-friendly photo printers from Canon

Posted by Justin Yu

Canon just added two new players to its roster of Selphy portable photo printers: the CP770 and CP760, both heavily marketed to families interested in printing photos directly off their phones and digital cameras. We liked its full-size sibling, the Selphy CP740, so we're looking forward to checking these out.

Let's take a look:

Selphy CP770:

$150
Shaped like a bucket you'd take to the beach, with a printer on top and storage underneath for accessories
Number of buttons has been simplified from previous models
2.5-inch color TFT screen
Print resolution: 300x300 dpi
Connects via PictBridge, USB, IrDA, or directly through memory card slots

Both printers feature Canon's image-preservation technology that spreads a thin layer of lamination over the photo to reduce bleeding and smudging.

Canon also offers two optional accessories for the printers: a Bluetooth adapter ($50) for wireless printing and an external battery pack ($80).
