Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Epson Charm does print quality nice looking photos....the PROBLEMS are: 1. The printing is MUCH SLOWER than advertised and SLOWER than the Canon Selphy. 2. It prints only from memory cards or directly from the camera (which on some of my camera's it didn't recognize the device and wouldn't print.) 3. It does NOT print from a USB memory card. 4. You must purchase an additional double ended USB cable in order to print pictures from your computer and if you have a Mac, this still might not work. It works on some of our Macbooks but not others. 5. It doesn't have as many print options as the Canon Selphy. 6. It advertises that it prints a picture in 47 seconds...when connected via USB directly to a DSLR camera, it took exactly 3m17s to print 1 bordered 4x6 pictures. 7. It takes 1m36s to print directly from a SD card to print 1 bordered 4x6. 8. To print a 8 mini wallet 4x6 directly from a SD card, it took 8m43s I purchased the Canon Selphy and tried it out in direct comparison to the Epson Charm. I wanted the Epson Charm mostly because of the name as Epson makes quality photo printers and the Epson feels and looks of better quality than the Canon Selphy. The Canon Selphy is superior to the Epson in that it prints easily from a USB memory card, your camera or your macbook computer and it is faster. The Selphy takes 2m47s to print a 8 mini wallet on 4x6 and 56s for a 4x6 bordered picture when plugged directly into the camera via a USB. I did not try directly with a SD card but imagine it would be less time. The bottom line is...this is an excellent printer if you are printing directly from your camera or your camera's memory card and have the time to wait for the picture. The quality of the photographs via the Canon and the Epson are the same. Nice, bright vivid colors.
