Photo printers are fantastic devices. They can print out lab quality photos in minutes, many do not require a computer - just a connection to your camera or other photo device like a camera phone, and there are portable battery powered units too. You can even carry your camera on vacation and print photos on the spot. But there are thousands of choices with varying prices, and the models keep changing. How do you pick a great one and get a great price?
First, figure out what you need. Do you want a printer just for photos or for occasional standard text printing on regular sized paper too? Or maybe you need to do a lot of regular printing, and occasionally print a photo as well? This will determine which models you consider. Some will print only on photo sized paper, for example many of the portable or mobile models, yet some will print on anything. If you need to do mega-office printing with the occasional photo, then consider two printers which may be cheaper in the long run.
Also for mobile and compact units, do you really need the expensive, optional, special purpose battery? Are you really going to print at the beach in your car? Think about it as skipping that battery can save you a lot of money.
For actual models to consider, look at reviews online, for example at printer web sites and Amazon. Sometime you can find absolutely insanely inexpensive deals on photo printer models that are discontinued or about to be discontinued, and they are absolutely fine!
For specific recommendations, visit Canon Photo Printer and Photo Printer Reviews.
You should be able to find a model to suit your needs and hopefully get a great price. Also pay attention to comments in reviews that may indicate a printer is an ink hog, as it can be quite expensive!
