Canon announces Selphy ES1 compact photo printer
Like so many others, Canon is getting the jump on the big Photokina show and announcing some of its new products in advance, including its latest photo printer, the Selphy ES1. It'll give you prints in card size (2.1 x 3.4-inches), "L" size (3.5 x 4.7-inches), and postcard size (4 x 6-inches), all of which are handled with Canon's new integrated paper and ink cartridges; this is supposed to simplify things some, but we're guessing they also make it a fair bit more expensive (Canon sez €0.29, or about 37 cents, per print). If you dig that, the ES1 also packs a 2.5-inch LCD, wireless printing via IrDA, Bluetooth or Digital IXUS WIRELESS, and an optional battery pack for printing on the go. Look for this one to be available in September (in the U.K. to start with, it seems) for about $360.[Via Far East Gizmos]
