The latest Selphy dye-sublimation model is a well-built snapshot printer capable of producing good photos, but it lacks some features and requires pricey media. Read more

Although the Canon Selphy CP780 Compact Photo Printer is a step below the top tier of dedicated photo printers for photo quality, it's good enough for most casual photographers. Read more

This worked well in our tests, as did other enhancements like automatic red-eye removal. Colour proved quite punchy and vivid but the CP780 had a nasty habit of blowing highlights. Read more

The one problem, and it is a big one, is that the prints are expensive. A basic refill pack of 24 photo cards and dye-sub roll cassette costs £15: that’s 62p per print, not including the £129 price of the printer. Yet there is no denying the appeal of personal photo card printers in the home, and the Selphy CP780 is a particularly good example.

The included CD doesn't have Windows 7 drivers, and Canon's website is notoriously difficult to navigate. When I finally found the Windows 7 64-bit drivers, they installed and ran well. Remember that prints are reflective, so they will appear darker than the image on your monitor. Brighten your image a bit before printing, and you will be happy. The auto-brightness feature in Photoshop Elements 8 does this nicely. Read more
