The Selphy CP780's features consist of three front media slots for CompactFlash, SD Card, MultiMediaCard, along with Memory Stick, in addition a PictBridge port on the left side. To use xD-Picture Card as well as other formats, you'll need a third-party adapter. The front-loading paper cassette holds up to 54 sheets of 4-by-8-inch photograph paper. To turn out on 4-by-6-inch photo paper, you must physically push the load of paper to the front of the tray. The cassette's double-lid design is puzzling: You have to raise both lids to stack paper, but just one to slot in the cartridge into the printer. A not compulsory.

It creates images by transferring succeeding layers of cyan, magenta, and yellow dye from a roll of film onto photo paper, finishing with a clear-coat layer. Once a photograph is printed, that part of film cannot be reused, in spite of how much color is left, resulting in a lot of misuse. Photos cost a pricey 33 cents each. And because finishing a single photograph requires four passes, the Selphy CP780 prints gradually, taking about 75 seconds on standard (0.8 pages per minute) to end a 4-by-6-inch photograph. To be fair, its like-priced opposition, the HP Photosmart A536, is even slower, as well as its photos cost 34 cents each; but to some extent more exclusive Epson PictureMate Dash is almost two times as fast and has a lesser per-print price.

Photo quality differs for the Selphy CP780. Photos of people as well as objects were a little light-colored but practically complete. On the other hand, a mountain landscape appeared soft and impracticable, like a terrible 1950s postcard.

The Canon Selphy CP780 is an economical photograph printer. It would be our top pick if it were quicker as well as reasonable per print copy.
