    Although this printer was originally not compatible with Lion, the problem has now been fixed and it is compatible. This printer is amazing. The picture quality is wonderful. If any Project lifers are out there, this printer is perfect for project life.

    Having had more than my share of compact ink jet photo printers, I was a little skeptical of the all-in-one cartridge system used by the Selphy ES40. I was also, however, tired of prints never coming out right, paper that was reluctant to feed, near interminable waits, etc. This printer is the modern day equivalent of a Polaroid camera. You just insert the cartridge (for 50 photos), easily select the photo via the dial (which works very much like Canon cameras (or like an iPod, you can spin it or click each of the four directions)), then press the print button. Out comes the picture with no fuss. It wont smudge and watching each color layer appear in succession is interesting, too. Take note: the printer comes with NO paper/ink. You must order it separately. And while the lab will certainly be cheaper, itll also take a lot longer and a trip to the store or waiting for the delivery. We got this printer to replace what Polaroids used to do... quickly print a picture with no fuss. It does that wonderfully.

    I bought this product a couple of years ago for only 87.00 dollars now they are selling it for 3Xs the money. I wished I had bought 2 at that time. Anyway this is a great product the pictures come out fast clear and glossy I love it.

    I have purchased 3 other Sephfy printers and this one is even more awesome than the rest. Everyone that sees it thinks its so cool. I love the easy of use. Being able to format from the printer is its most attractive feature.

    I liked this printer at first and actually bought two of them, both an ES30 and ES40. However, since upgrading my Mac to Mountain Lion some six months ago, they have been unusable. When one tries to download a driver at the Canon web site, one gets a message, Content for OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion will be available soon. In the meantime, please use OS X v10.7 Lion content as a possible alternative. This message has been in place for approximately six months. However I cannot install the 10.7 driver in Mountain Lion, as the operating system 10.8 complains that the 10.7 driver is incompatible. I have called the support number at Canon, without success. The support person could give no time frame for the appearance of a new driver, nor even tell whether a new driver will ever appear. This means I have not been able to use my printers for approximately six months. I find totally unacceptable this abandonment--without warning or explanation--of a printer that has very complementary reviews. This experience with this model of Canon photo printer, especially the lack of information or useful help from the support group at Canon, leaves me with grave doubts about Canon products. I plan in the future to purchase no other Canon printer, camera, or other electronic component that requires a Canon software driver to interface with my computers.

    This little printer is a powerhouse! It prints a photo in about a minute and, I have to say, the print quality is phenomenal! Its the closest thing to film print quality Ive seen from a printer. Setup is a snap. you open a cartridge, open the cartridge door on the side of the printer, take out the cleaning cartridge, remove the orange retaining clip from the back of the new cartridge, insert it into the printer and close the door. Now, youre ready to print. Just put your memory card into the printer, select the photos, cropping, effects or frames you want and press the print button. 60 seconds later, you have your print. My only complaint is that the Photo effects, which are available on the printer, are not included in the software for your computer. Oh yeah, While you can hook up a USB cable to your Selphy and print from your computer, you can also use it completely independent of a computer.

    This isnt my first Selphy but I like it better than my previous ones. I do a lot of traveling and I love the way this one is compact. I also prefer the way the cartridge is set up with ink and paper instead of being separated n the other version I had, less to keep track of when Im out and about.

    Oh, I was so excited to buy this product, based on all the reviews I read; here on Amazon and elsewhere. So I ordered it. Oh well, Ive lost money on other purchases as well. The unit is very easy to set up, and if you follow the beginners guide, you can generally produce the prints you want with relative ease. Once I set the unit up, I was able to print out several photographs from my memory card. The prints are decent, though a bit washed-out compared to what you can generate via a printer. On day two and subsequent days, I was not able to generate any more photos. I tried over 10 (!!!!) memory cards, and each time, the screen reads: CANNOT READ DATA FROM MEMORY CARD. CHECK THAT THE MEMORY CARD CONTAINS IMAGES. They do. Well, that was it. I havent been able to print anything on this since day one, as I get the same error message. Even when I connect the unit to my computer, I get error messages. Dont even get me started on what it was like trying to deal with customer service. Scratch that. There was no service for this customer, just a lot of run-around which led to a representative who said something of the effect, Gee, thats really strange. To read these other reviews, I may have got a bum unit, as buyers seem to be happy with the product. I was too until it petered out on me. I suspect part of it has to do with bugs in new technology. Oh well, I still have a printer attached to my printer. And Walgreens.

    I purchased this printer for my girlfriend. Shes not a very electronics saavy person and will usually not even bother to attempt learning about new gadgets. She basically plugged this printer in and was printing in less than 2 minutes. Picture quality was good. Printer speed was average/good so no complaints. The paper/ink combo kits are fantastic. You always have the exact amount of ink for the amount of paper in each package so you never run out of one before the other. Very compact and light weight. LCD screen is a great feature. Overall this is a great printer and very worth your time, epecially for such a great price! MUST HAVE! (Update 4/25/13). I have now owned this printer for over 3 years and its still a fantastic product. The reason Im updating this review is because of the drastic price increase. I purchased this product in 2010 for $50. It is now listed for $350. Its probably worth the money if you have it to waste, but because of the crazy price increase, I would look for something else. Now, If you do decide to buy this product in spite of the price, you wont be disappointed in terms of quality.

    This printer is great for small here and there pictures that I want printed. I have a photo printer I used before but in the end this is more cost effective. To print about the same amout I have to buy 2 differenet inks plus photo paper about $75. I would only use this for small jobs because sometimes it doesnt accecpt some of the pictures on ur card. Easy fix for that is if u open up the pic in windows paint and save as and save as a jpeg. Pain in the butt but it worked for me :) over all Im pretty happy with this printer for what I use it for, I got it in a pkg deal when I bought my canon rebel for a sick price!
