This is portable photo printer and it came to me on combo-offer. It is photo printer of post-card size only. It is good to carry along with you in trip and get the print. Print quality is good, but slow.

TopStrengths: good quality, sharp pictures
Weakness: none
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!

TopStrengths: Small and portable, easy to use and really inexpensive printer.
Weakness: The battery is not standard and it is not included also the LCD screen does not seem as sharp and is a bit small 2", 3" would have been much better.
It is easy to carry and print directly from your digital camera anywhere. The battery is sold separately and it is not standard (also a bit pricey). I wish Canon had included the battery, however this printer is worth every penny as it is.

TopStrengths: Picture quality, compact size, thermo transfer printing
Weakness: Can't print to regular photo paper
I bought this printer to printer photo on regular photo papers. It turned out one can only print to Canon-specific postcard paper, which is much more expensive than the regular page. It also uses special Canon Color Dye Sublimation, Thermal cartridge. But I like the overall photo quality of this printer. And that there is no ink in the cartridge. Overall, it's a nice printer to have

TopStrengths: Compact Canon brand
Weakness: cost of thermo transfer cartridges
This is a great printer but use it wisely.
It prints very good photos but make sure you print only the ones you really want to have as the cost of replacement cartridges (thermo transfer) does not make it the cheapest option for pictures.
It is super comact, cute and very easy to use.

TopStrengths: Great colors and texture
Weakness: Only use Canon-specific paper with postcards on back
Overall this is a really nice printer. I also have an Epson inkjet photo printer, and find I like it's versatility a little better than the Canon. Price per print is the same, but the Canon has perforated tabs you break off the photo. Having received the printer for free after rebates, it's a good deal. If I were choosing a single printer, not sure this would be my choice.

THE GOOD: Inexpensive; good quality prints; very easy to use; retractable USB cable/connector is a nice touch. THE BAD: Prints are a bit slower than the competitions; very limited onboard photo-editing features; photo colors need a bit of improvement. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Canon Selphy CP740 offers a decent feature package and quality prints for an inexpensive compact photo printer. Casual...

Wonderful prints for the price
Strengths: Small form factor, menu system
Weakness: Sorting through photos takes a while
No matter what brand of camera you prefer (Nikon, Canon, Kodak, Olympus, etc.), this portable photo printer will make your prints come to life. The output quality is great. I think my Epson PictureMate prints are a bit better, but when comparing 4x6 prints...let's be real, they're fine. My main complaint is the speed of thumbing through photos on memory cards. It's a bit slow...probably because I'm using 2GB and 4GB memory cards.
With the current $50 rebate going on (12/07), the price is hard to beat. I couldn't find any other reputable photo printer for under $50, period.
