Does having a handle instantly make something portable? Canon sure seems to think so, and it's hoping the lug-ability of its new ES3 and ES30 Selphy printers will be enough to rope you into buying its special integrated ink and paper cartridges for years to come. For the most part, two printers are identical, although the ES3 does boast a slightly larger 3.5-inch LCD (as opposed to a 3-incher), as well as an added 1GB of internal memory, which Canon claims is a first for a compact photo printer. Otherwise, you can expect a 15-in-1 memory card reader on each, along with PictBridge support, and a number of frame, clip art and calendar functions to impress your friends with. If that's got you convinced, you can pick up both of 'em now, with the SELPHY ES3 running $199.99 and ES30 setting you back $149.99.
Looks like a FisherPrice toy...
ha! i was just googling to find that 80's toy i had which had all the little buttons on top to press to make a category of sound (songs i think?)
too many toys...
Looks like one of my big fat radio cassette player I had once.
it also looks like a portable karaoke machine. you could totally take this to the mall and totally rock out to tiffany with all of her fellow fans.
My First Lugable Photo Printer Pony.
Looks like the ES3 also adds an IR port.
Looks more like a defibrillator than a photo printer.
Maybe it does both?
"The photos are heart-stoppingly beautiful. Apply pads to chest before printing."
lol!
"My... those photos are really crisp and...
CLEAR!!!"
I guess they are targeting the eBay market...
I saw the picture before the title and thought Canon got into the medical business...
I'm just gonna make a guess, but does the ink cost $149.99?
Cool, kill trees on the run too
Looks like a medical device.
"...as well as an added 1GB of internal memory, which Canon claims is a first for a compact photo printer"
Right, and there is a reason for that. Also, why does it need a screen? My camera already has one. A calendar?? WHY?
The Polaroid Pogo looks infinitely more "portable" (like it might actually fit in your pocket) and without the Fisher Price styling.

Selphy? Seriously?
Sounds like some form of auto-erotic act to me...
