Photos on the go: Canon appears to be taking the concept of thinking outside the box seriously in its approach to the competitive market of photo printers.
The Selphy CP770, which debuted June 12, is notable for its striking design — it looks like an oblong, bright-yellow bucket. The printer even comes complete with a carrying handle. The "bucket" is in fact the storage case for the printer, which is just lifted out of the case whenever — or wherever — duty calls.
The CP770 is stand-alone portability redefined. It weighs a mere 1,060 grams, prints directly from USB camera-cable input via PictureBridge and more than a dozen different memory-card formats, and with the optional battery pack (¥7,000) and Bluetooth adapter (¥8,500), many users will be able to leave all their wires at home.
