Canon SELPHY CP770 "Basket-Style" Photo Printer and Ultra-compact CP760 Photo Printer

That strange object above is Canon's new "Basket-Style" photo printer called the SELPHY CP770. This compact photo printer is ready to go wherever you need it, thanks to Canon's bright idea to bundle everything in a basket-style storage bucket. Inside you have the printer, but it also stores accessories including paper, ink cartridge and power cord. 

Canon's new design innovations were created with a focus on improving mobility and usability based on the printers' broad range of uses, including printing photos for family albums, school art projects and scrapbooks. Each printer has larger buttons arranged in a "makes-sense" layout, designed for simplicity and easier navigation through menus. The number of buttons on each printer has been reduced from 12 buttons on previous models, down to nine for more simple functionality.

The Canon SELPHY CP770 Compact Photo Printer ($149.99) has a 2.5" high-definition LCD monitor to preview images before printing. Making  it even more useful on the road, an optional Canon NB-CP2 battery pack ($79.99) makes it possible to print photos anywhere. The CP770 also supports "IrSimple" high-speed infrared wireless communications standard which lets you wirelessly print photos from mobile phones, PDAs or other digital devices.

Canon also announced the SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer ($99.99) which prints 4x6 inch photographs. The printer sports a new 2.5 inch TFT, which is used to preview images before printing, and  to navigate through menus and neatly preview images before printing. The CP760 printer has  memory card slots for loading photos, and you can print straight from a camera with a USB cord.
