Do you want to take pictures and print them right on the spot? Canon’s new Selphy ES3 and ES30 allow you to do just that.
These two photo printers are equipped with integrated ink and paper cartridges and are fully compatible with PictBridge. They are also available with a 15-format memory card reader and several onboard clip art features. In addition to the picture additions, there are filter effects and three image effects too: the Modern Bright, Pin-Hole Camera and Nostalgic.
As for the design, ES3 and ES30 have enhanced the known ES vertical operation with a more curvaceous shape and reduced footprint. Memory card slots are easily accessed, and portability is improved with a fixed handle.
ES3 comes with more clip art options compared to the ES30. It also has a bigger LCD screen measuring 3.5 inches, while ES30 has a 3-inch LCD. ES3 is priced at $199 and ES30 at $149.
