The Selphy DS810 provides good image results for the price (I paid $20 / £10 new). The quality of the photo paper makes quite a difference to the final printed results. With good quality paper it looks like a professional print. The preview LCD is very cheap and low quality, but it is functional. The menu interface is a bit clunky, but also does what it needs. The printer has infrared for wireless conectivity with devices such as mobile phones, but considering the positioning which means the device needs to be held next to the printer instead of rested near it, and the fact that a 1MB photo takes about 2 minutes to transfer, it is useless. Bluetooth would have been a much better solution, but of course incurs a higher hardware cost. The other connectivity options are quite good, with a USB port to directly connect your camera without removing the memory as well as a 5 card reader. I have found it is more straightforward to use the printer as a standalone device and plug memory cards or the camera directly into it. As soon as you start printing from a photo editing program on a computer one must be very aware of the 4x6 printing dimensions and it is a bit tricky to get the paper settings right in order to print in the right area of the page. As a standalone device, this will provide pleasing results for the price. One thing to keep in mind is that the cost of printing is actually higher than £0.15 / $0.30 a print when you include the high cost of consumables (paper and ink). That means this printer is more for convenience than anything else since it is quite easy to find offers on quantity prints for £0.05/ $0.10 a print.
