Canon - SELPHY CP900

I have a weird obsession with buying Canon Selphys when I find them in thrift stores. I now have six in total, ranging from a CP400 (which honestly holds up really well. Prints good, is really solidly made with decent materials, and isn't bloated with too many features), to a pair of semi-working CP760s, two CP1200s (one of which was the first one I bought, brand new, full price, and another bought for $30 with a hardcase and extra paper/cassettes), to my best find which was a CP900 (which has all the features of the 1200s, just without a battery slot) for *three dollars*. Still reeling from that last one. And it works perfectly. I don't think they're perfect machines; the cassettes seem kinda wasteful, and the picture quality isn't the absolute best. But they're incredibly useful and fun, especially the portable ones. I take one to conventions with me to make digital art badges, and sometimes print off physical photos for people at as keepsakes.

I second this! I’ve had a canon selphy for maybe 6 months now and it’s absolutely fantastic. Just something to consider is that the refil paper pack that comes with ink is about $40 aud but in saying that it does come with 108 photo papers to print on

I got a Canon SELPHY last week and the print quality is great. I don’t recommend the Canon Ivy 2 (which I had bought before the SELPHY) because the pictures all have a bluish tint.

I have the canon Selphy and it works great. Obviously quite larger than the Kodak however you can change the size of the prints. I recommend printing on the normal photo paper and stick them in for best results in quality. My friend bought the Kodak a few months before me and is now on her third unit after having warranty issues with them. That being said this third one seems to be working well for her albeit with slightly worse quality compared to the canon Selphy.

I think your best option at that price point is a Canon Selphy (lowest price I see is $179). I had one a gen or two earlier and I stopped using because no driver support and I couldn't use it when I switched to a MacBook. No idea if that is still an issue. If all you want to print is pictures, it will serve you well. I look at the specs and it looks like it prints 4x6, 2.1x2.1, and label stickers. It prints using dye sublimation, so you have to use their dye/paper supplies ($32 for 100 4x6 prints). Price looks to be $179. I personally use an Epson PM-400. It's a small inkjet that prints on any paper that you can use in an inkjet. It will print on 3.5x5 thru 5x7. It's portable and I use it at crops for printing photos, journaling, and any digital ephemera I have. It is an inkjet and the ink cartridge ($35) is an all in one that will print approximately 100 photos. Epson value glossy photo paper is $6.99 for 100 sheets. Printer is around $300. They typically go on sale at the holidays. All over, more expensive, but more versatility and works better if you have Mac products.

I've had mine for 2 years and I've been happy with it. Easy to use, nice compact size and good quality pictures.

I have the canon SELPHY and the canon ivy and the SELPHY is worth it! I wish I skipped the ivy

I glue mine in with a glue stick, that seems to hold up fine too. And agree on the sprocket vs selphy, I used to use a sprocket but the quality is so much better on the selphy.

Canon Selphy for 4x6. Bigger than that, they become not really portable. You can get a battery for it, but I didn't, just plug it in wherever I am.

Como outros já comentaram, depende um pouco da proposta. Concordo com sua visão geral de que a câmera é mais “presente”, mais divertida e parece se encaixar melhor na pretensão de ambos, considerando que está vinculada mais ao “guardar momentos” do que a qualidade das fotos/impressões. O filme é caro de fato e vejo que geralmente as pessoas “tem dó de usar”. A facilidade de tirar 500 fotos no telefone e escolher a perfeita certamente contribui com isso, é uma outra abordagem de fotografia e não me parece fazer sentido “queimar” filme com fotos similares simplesmente almejando perfeição. Por outro lado, vejo valor na impressora quando falamos em maior número de fotos (se for um volume de fato enorme, compensa comprar impressão em lote igual outro comentário sugeriu). Mas não iria de instax não, as Canon SELPHY que fazem 10x15 me agradam mais e o refil custa menos.
