I have used other small portable printers and they are great to have. I travel the world as a photographer and give out physical pictures to locals and they are so happy, and I come back the next day the people are way more responsive to you taking photos even if they don't get one in return. They take you to places others don't see, or are open to talk. When in Iraq I gave Iraqi soldiers pictures of them in uniform on duty. One of the guys told me a few days later his mother loved the print and he was so grateful for something to give a deeper connection to his family, his mother and wife made me one of my favorite meals and a big hug.

Never underestimate the power of a physical photo.

Such a positive video. Thank you, Niels, keep creating great content.

I got a Selphy CP1000 (most basic model but same printing engine) for christmas and I absolutely agree with this video. I collect vintage cameras and having your own photos in physical form is something else from viewing them on a screen.

[IgnacioCuriel]

Having a printout of a charming photo in your hands is never the same experience as seeing it on a screen, worse if you see it in a small screen, like a smartphone's

[missychan]

I have the same printer and absolutely love it! When the grandkids and I spend the day together we can come back to the house and immediately print photos of the day and make a scrapbook page before they go home. 😊

[misstracee]

I purchased this today because of this recommendation. Thank you! I am having a lot of fun printing out photos that deserve to be at least on my fridge.

Plus for Weddings (or party's or whatever) you can print photos of the couple or brides maids and use them in your next shots.
This could be a really cool gimmick 🙂
Especially when you have a cool location

[chris_jorge]

And when it’s easy to print, you’re more likely to print . Love the rec mate!

[josephsintum]

Thanks for the recommendation, I will get this for my next event shoot

[pankist]

Such a great and valuable video, my friend!
You deserve more!
Keep up with the great content. You are unique.

Was looking at the CP1000 today ... think I'll go with your advice here. New photographer and I'm already tired of not actually seeing the photos I'm taking ... ih and, new subscriber ... you're a fun fella. Cheers, Mike 👍

[thomaschipman]

i prefer the instax printers for when i'm out and about and shooting with the possibility of handing out prints; i usually have either the square format or the wide format printer in my bag. for in the studio and events, i have a hiti p510s which does dye sub prints up to 6x8" (152 x 203 mm). i definitely agree about versatility of these kinds of printers and people just love getting instant prints. i'll always advocate for printing your work; big prints, small prints, doesn't matter. just having your images in a tangible form can completely change your perspective.

Yep, I have Epson R3800 but Not used for few years and nozzle is totally clogged and it is probably impossible to fix it. And I really like the idea Print photo "Whenever I want" This things does not dry up nozzles like inkjet I believe! I want one! Thanks for the video!

[FinnishSuperSomebody]

Today I got Canon R50 camera and noticed that there is direct print possibility. Had to test it with my Selphy CP1300 with "Direct Link" or whatever it was called, printer was set as a WIFI-hotspot or so, then on Canon R50 camera I was able to select that printer and then I was able to print photos directly from camera with Selphy CP1300 without need to use cellphone either. I tested with two photos and both worked well but I got white border around them, might be because of aspect ratio of the photos in my camera or some settings, didn't checked but this was cool feature :)

[milouschmidt]

Great content I am happy to have decided buying this printer. Thank you ❤

[cutesammie]

Haha. Funny guy. I love this review and I just ordered one few minutes ago. Thanks

[NjahTobias]

A very nice printer. it prints only 4x6 picture sizes. I wish to know if there is a canon selphy that can print a paper size 13x18

[CosmicOwlChild]

Yes I got a cp1500 from my work rewards and MAKE SURE YOU GET RP-108 that’s 2 carts for 108 prints. That’s 56 prints per cart. And there is other prints that bring 3 carts. Which seems you’ll get more prints but no. It’s Less prints that’s 36 prints per cart not worth it again GET RP-108 not the KR-108 or whatever. Side note. You can only put 18 prints at a time in the tray. Don’t have to count them they come packaged in 18 divided in 6 packets. That equals 108

[James_Distefano]

I love the improved audio quality. Great video, hilarious ending 😭😂😭😂😭😂😊

I bought a pair of canon selphy printers with batteries for events a number of years ago, used them a few times. But, print media now discontinued. So if you buy, don't assume you can get the print media in the future.
