Capturing photos on the go is a breeze nowadays. However, when it comes to sharing and immortalising them in print, we tend to be stuck. Canon is looking to make that a little less hassle with the Canon SELPHY CP1500 Compact Photo Printer.
The Canon SELPHY CP1500 is a really compact device coming in at 182.2mm x 57.6mm x 133.0mm and it weighs only 850g. It sports a 3.5-inch TFT LCD colour monitor so you can view what you’re printing before actually printing it. It’s able to print in three sizes: card (54x86mm), L size and Postcard (100x148mm). These are standard sizes which are available for purchase separately from Canon. It prints pretty quickly too taking only 41 seconds per postcard size – the largest format it supports.
The built-in display will allow you to make some minor adjustments before printing your images. However, if you want to add more customisation to your prints you can do so using the SELPHY Photo Layout app on your smartphone. You can even connect directly via WiFi and print your pictures from your laptop or PC. It also supports printing over USB-C. The SELPHY CP1500 also allows you to print directly from an SD, SDHC and SDXC card. If you want to print from a microSD card, you can with an adapter.
The SELPHY CP1500 comes with a battery pack which allows it to print up to 72 postcard size prints with a single charge.
Pricing & Availability
The Canon SELPHY CP1500 will be available in retail outlets soon. Canon Malaysia has yet to announce the local pricing for the SELPHY CP1500.
However, the printer is available for pre-order in the UK for £124.99 (MYR668.29) with availability scheduled for September 2022.
