Macworld has a review up of one of Canon’s newer compact photo printers, the mini260. It’s a standalone photo printer that was released last summer and that retails for $200 (although you can get it on Amazon for $130 right now).

Some basic stats on it:

• It has a 9600 x 2400 resolution and 1,536 precision nozzles
• It produces one picoliter sized ink droplets in order to better produce detailed photos
• It has a 2.5″ high definition TFT display for previews of your pictures
• It’s got a bunch of connectivity options, which is a must since it’s a standalone printer
• It can print wirelessly from an infrared camera phone or with an optional Bluetooth device
• Each print costs about 28 cents

In their review, Macworld mentioned how they liked the print quality and the ability to customize your prints. They didn’t like that the mini260 didn’t support xD cards (not a big deal in our opinion) and that it didn’t have red eye removal, which is maybe a big deal if you aren’t using a computer. So far only one person has review it on Amazon, but they did give it five stars. One downside for us is that this is one of those compact printers where Canon makes you buy a package that includes paper and a cartridge. This is bad for two reasons. One, it means that you have to always buy their packs and you can just buy whatever replacement ink cartridges you want. Two, since it’s just one cartridge it means that it will probably run out quickly if you are printing pictures with a lot of black in them since the mini260 has to produce black by combining a bunch of colors.
