Budget Portable Photo Printers - Add to Your Wish List this Holiday Season

So you are in love with photos, but the time you spend waiting for the prints almost kills you? Well, you are NOT the only impatient person on this earth. I was in the league until yesterday. Now you may wonder, what did happen yesterday? To start with, we get so busy and involved with our day to day life that we almost forget that we live in the era of changing technology (at least I did). The era wherein products are manufactured to cater to your wish lists. It dawned upon me when I saw a portable photo printer online. You get it – buy a portable photo printer and satisfy your craving!! Print your photos instantly, yes even on a vacation.

Now, I did some homework for you already. Here are three portable printers that are reasonably priced and would add fun to your holidays.

Canon Selphy CP760 is priced around $95 (talk about budget…huh?). Insert your camera’s memory card into one of the built-in card slots; preview your photos on a 2.5" TFT display and print. You can also print directly from a camera phone or a Bluetooth device with optional Bluetooth interface. Worried about red-eye? This printer has an automatic red-eye correction. So sit back and enjoy your 4" x 6" borderless and water-resistant photos in less than a minute. And if you wish to carry it along wherever you go, it weighs 2.2 lbs only.

Sony DPP-FP75 is priced around $145. Print your photos in easy steps – insert memory card, preview on 3.5" LCD screen and print. You can basic edit your photo - enlarge, reduce, rotate and adjust the color. Get your 4" x 6" borderless photos ready in a minute. This printer also has an automatic red-eye correction.

HP PhotoSmart A826 is priced around $199. Print in easy steps - insert memory card, preview and print. This printer also provides additional features to enhance your photos. To begin with, it has a 7" touch screen, largest of any home printer. You can print in multiple sizes including 4" x 6", 5" x 7", wallet or panorama. Add captions to your photos with stylus, your fingers or the touch screen keyboard. Also add fun graphics with more than 200 borders, graphics, frames and effects. Get your borderless photos printed in about half-a-minute. This printer also has an automatic red-eye correction. Play photo slideshows and you have a 7" digital photo frame.

I have added HP PhotoSmart A826 photo printer on top of my wish list and I am going to make sure that I get it. For now, I can only imagine all the fun it is going to be - click a photo, add captions and graphics, press print and the photo is ready.

So which printer did you add to your wish list this holiday season? Or would you still prefer to wait and get your photos printed from a store? I hope you enjoy your holidays and take lots of photos. Happy Printing!!
