Canon Photo Printers June

Canon on Monday released three new photo printers that it hopes will suit summer vacationers and the back-to-school audience. The PIXMA MP470 and MP210 all-in-ones are the first printers from the company to offer AutoImage Fix, a new feature that can determine the nature of a shot and perform basic corrections; both also offer a near-instantaneous start time that both relieves the stress of waiting and encourages users to power down to save energy. Either prints at 17 pages per minute in color at 4800x1200 and PictBridge support; the MP210 at $80 includes just basic features while the MP470 ($100) adds a card reader with preview LCD, better 4800x2400 scanning, and the option of a $50 Bluetooth adapter.

A single photo-specific printer is also part of the launch. The SELPHY CP740 is now available in the US after its Japanese release and adds streamlined red-eye correction for improving photos in advance of printing. It also builds in a scrapbook creation feature that lets viewers pick layouts that automatically fit one or more shots. A 2-inch LCD for editing and a multi-format card reader are included in the $100 SELPHY, which ships in the fall.
