Agreed! I bought this on vacation because I was scrapbooking a lot and the small size is one of the benefits. The app gives me a ton of control over what I print and has made memory keeping even more joyful!
I have not had any issues at all. Since I’m a data kind of person, I looked up my receipts and here are my stats, lol: It is the QX10, and I’ve had it since Dec 2023. I’ve purchased 120 sheets of photo paper for it and have ~20 sheets right now, so it has printed 100 photos for me so far. 😊
I’ve had a Canon Ivy for years, and also a Canon Selphy square. I tend to use the Selphy a lot because it is newer and higher quality, but the narrower Ivy photos work well if I have a little less space. I got non-proprietary cases for travel and have loved having them!
I have a canon selphy, I think the qx-10 (the new one is qx-20, has usb c and some new features). I like it a lot! I would say that the quality of the photos isn't quite to what you'd get when you order photos, but it's still pretty good. The pictures are maybe slightly fuzzy, and I think blacks aren't as rich, but otherwise pretty good. If you don't peel the backing off, they're as thick and stiff as a normal photo, but they're pretty thin when you stick them in your planner. They're a little thicker/stiffer than a regular sticker, but not by much. I was honestly surprised at how thin they are. One downside is that the paper/ink refills are kind of expensive. (I think it comes out to around $ .75 each print.) Sometimes I print out a collage and cut out the individual photos for separate spreads/days, which helps the refills last longer. I've included a picture so you can see, but I was struggling to get one that was in focus, so It might not be helpful, lol. This is in an A6 planner.

Would definitely say canon selphy. I have the QX10 (more portable and I can cover it in stickers) and I can only imagine that the 1500 is even better. The colors are truer and brighter than others I have seen. I specifically use sticker for mine so I can put things in my hobo.
I do have the QX10 and I love it. Its not ZINK paper, but just as easy to use (the printing process might take a little longer) and the photos look fantastic.
Its a little more expensive but not by much. Here it would be 50 cents for a photo on ZINK paper and around 70 for one with ink. So depends on where you live and also how many photos you print.
And it produces a bit more waste because of the ink cartridges
Canon selphy qx10 over here highly recommend it. Got it second hand and it works great. I use my sprocket for general journaling and the selphy for memory journal and my sons memory journal als
