For a long time the missing link with digital photography was the ability to print images in any room of the home and carry a printer with you on the go. The latest line of photo printers from many manufacturers are very portable and allow you to print the images you take digitally virtually anywhere. The latest portable photo printers from Canon and are called the Selphy ES3 and ES30.

The pair of printers share many of the same features like a 15 format memory card reader, PictBridge compatibility, and integrated ink/paper cartridges and LCD preview screens. The ES3 has a 3.5-inch LCD and the ES30 has a 3-inch LCD. The ES3 also has 1GB of internal storage for saving photos to the printer. Both printers have on-board clip art, with the ES3 offering many more choices than the cheaper ES30. The Selphy ES3 will retail for $199.99 and the ES30 will go for $149.99. Interestingly, the shape of the new Selphy printers is very similar to the HP A826.
