The Canon Selphy 750 is a good partner whether you are at home or on the move. The printer has a white and gray finish, an LCD screen on the top, and a plethora of function buttons. You can zoom in and out of photos, crop, arrange layout, stamp date and adjust color (black and white, sepia etc.). However, it is surprising that you are not able to see the effects on the LCD screen: when you press -say- red-eye correction, the button's light goes to on but you cannot see the corrected red-eye. Moreover, the top button is labeled “On” and it makes you wonder how to turn the printer off. The button is also the “OFF” button.
The key to this printer's success is in its quality of prints, which are very nice. If you are not a professional photographer, you will find the results exceed expectations. Color transition is very nice; vibrancy, tone and natural details come across beautifully. However, with darker images, the Canon Selphy 750 does fractionally lose detail. You will most likely catch this effect when creating night shots or with shots taken under the sun having sharp shadows.
The printer is extremely versatile, with tremendous options for tweaking setup. Although you can install the drivers to your computer and work from there, you can plug a Bluetooth dongle into the USB port and use any Bluetooth-enabled device to print. So, if you have your parents visiting and you want to print a photo, there will be no need to transfer the images from your cell phone to the PC and then print. Just a small tip for the BrightHub readers.
Canon makes it very easy to print your photos. However, we wish we had multiple image previewing (thumbnail preview) on the screen and auto-correct brightness, contrast and colors, which we have in DPP-FP90.
You can purchase Selphy 750 for EUR 250/USD 205/GBP 115 with typical one-year warranty.
