The reviews of the Selphy 710 are great, but I found the printer to be ridiculously inflexible and very difficult to find supplies for. And, by the way, when Canon says that it prints "postcard" sized paper, what they really mean is that the unit prints postcards-- divided backs and a rectangle for a stamp included. No alternatives-- take it or leave it. So, the quality of the print may be great, but if you are looking for something other than a snapshot printer, look elsewhere. Or, perhaps you could set up a thriving business making postcards if you live in an area with a lot of tourism..... I sent mine back.

Will not recognize 99% of the photos stored on my hard drive including those taken with a Canon camera.
Will not work with iPhoto.
Customer service reps are zip help.
Configuring print options is definately not intuitive.
A good printer [Posted on 2006-11-06]
I use my printer as needed. Unlike the ink jet printers, the dye in this printer will never dry up. The picture quality is good enough in general. I wish the print size could be a little bit bigger than it is.
Perfect for Room Parents! [Posted on 2007-04-23]
I can't believe how much this little printer has changed my way of taking pictures. Signing up to be my little girl's Kindergarten room mother was an idea of lunacy. However, this printer has made it quite fun. I took 200 pictures of kids with Santa, and many parents who couldn't afford the big shopping mall expedition were tickled with their $2 picture that looked like it came out of a studio. I'm geared up to repeat this success for the Spring Festival. From 11am to 2pm, I know I can seat, shoot and print for 200 kids and everyone is happy. Even my 6 year old gets into the action and helps - it's that easy! I even went into her classroom for a class party, took pictures of kids in groups, printed them out and let them make fridge magnets to take home. I'm having a lot of fun thinking of the next activity with my Canon pair!
Great little printer - BUY IT! [Posted on 2008-11-01]
I've used a CP-710 for a couple of years for printing 4X6 "give-away"snapshots and love the quality of the prints. The clear overcoat is a BIG bonus that no one seems to mention. The prints are very rugged and waterproof so can be sent through the mail as postcards with no worries. Try that with most ink jet prints.
The dye-sub prints have good contrast and saturation, without being "super-saturated" like some ink-jet printers. These prints come closer to looking like prints from color film than most inexpensive printers provide.
For serious "art" prints I use a Canon PIXMA PRO-9000, but for reliable and quick 4x6's the little Canon is hard to beat. No nozzles to clog and clean, no dried up ink cartridges. It's always ready to work with no hassles. the only issue I've had is that printing more than (10) prints in rapid succession can cause the printer to overheat and then stop for a few minutes while it cools down.
By keeping a look-out for Canon supplies "On-sale" I can usually find the KP-108IP kits for around $25-26 so that amounts to 24 cents per print. Not as cheap as Ritz/Wolf but much more convenient when you only need a handful of quick prints.
