Shoot and print with ease: Canon introduces three new printer-camera bundles
Canon’s stylish new SELPHY CP520 Compact Photo Printer is available bundled with a choice of three great Canon digital cameras: the chic Digital IXUS 70, the easy-to-use PowerShot A460 and the feature-packed PowerShot A560.
UK United Kingdom / Republic of Ireland 12 September, 2007: In recent years, Canon has consistently offered its latest digital cameras bundled with a compact printer – bringing compact photo printing to an ever-wider audience in the process. In keeping with this ethos, each SELPHY CP520 bundle offers a convenient, one-stop photography solution, allowing anyone to start taking and printing lab-quality digital photos straight away. Furthermore, the bundles represent a significant saving over the cost of buying a camera and printer separately.
With a handy retractable USB cable that attaches directly to any compatible camera or camcorder, the SELPHY CP520 couldn’t be easier to use. Just select Print, and in under a minute you’re rewarded with a colourful, professional-looking photo print. Immediately dry to the touch, prints are protected from splashes and spills by a special glossy layer. From mid-September 2007, each of the three SELPHY CP520 bundles will be available across Europe.
