Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Compact Photo Printer Selphy CP730
Customer Review: Excellent Photo Quality But Cropping is Awkward
Summary: 4 Stars
Picture sharpness is excellent, but some images print darker than they should. Cropping is my only real complaint. The controls are awkward and, worse, not fine enough. It's often difficult to frame everything you want and not what you don't want because the available cropping settings are inadequate. There's no technical reason for this limitation, Canon just didn't provide fine enough control of that feature.Customer Review: Important! Get the new model for the same $
Summary: 4 Stars
Make yourself a favor and search for the Canon Compact Photo Printer Selphy CP740. It is the new model for the same price. When I realized that it was too late. The printer works fine and the quality is good although, there is not enough "ink" on the ink/paper set to print the amount of pictures that it pormises to do so. Other than that it is really cool to print pictures whenever you want.Customer Review: Ok, but has trouble with Gradients
Summary: 3 Stars
So I took photos that included a nice blue sky and printed out a few on this printer. It seems it has trouble with sky gradients. In the photos, the horizon sky is a light-blue/cyan color then it changes to a nice deep blue as you go higher in the picture. When I look at the photo on my monitor it looks perfect, however, when I print out on this photo printer it looks somewhat speckled at the transition from light-blue to deep blue. It's almost as if the printer or the dye has trouble with fine gradients.
For the price of the dye I would expect much better (compared to online printers). And don't try to blame it on my camera.
Another thing. I tried loading edited images onto an SD card and printing from the card but the printer could not read the edited images from the card. I guess it only wants images straight from the camera? That seems silly, but ok. They printed out fine if I printed from the computer though (although see first paragraph).
Other than those two things it's a decent printer. It's nice and small, although I don't like how the paper comes out the back periodically when it is printing. If I sound picky, I am.
Bottom line I think the printer is OK but for the price of the dye, I would rather just get my prints online mailed to me. Seems like that has worked fine.
Customer Review: Not worth it for every day
Summary: 2 Stars
I just got the Canon Selphy CP730 and the best thing that I can say is that it is extremely portable. If you want a picture on the fly, wherever you go then I might consider this. But if you are buying this to use at home like I have, with an eye for toting it about, the print quality is lacking sharpness and the colors are lacking depth. My HP printer does a much better job but lacks the portability. Bottom line, it doesn't produce good pictures.Customer Review: worst photo printer I've seen+
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased these printers for our program at a children's hospital in which we create photos for families. The photos take forever to print because they have to go through 3 layers of color. The ink runs out quickly and is hard to find. The photos print with little splotches of color all over. The screen does not move so it is hard to see what you are doing. Twice when I was printing, the ink film stuck to the photo and cam unraveled and we had to throw away the entire ink cartridge. The HP photo printers are much easier to use and longer lasting with better photo quality.
