Canon claims that, like its line mate, this inexpensive sibling of the Selphy CP710 dye-sub prints a 4x6 photo in just 60 seconds. It lacks both card slots and an LCD, however, and the battery is optional.

Summary: Though not a looker, lacking in versatility and slightly short on image quality, the Selphy CP510 is still worthy of your attention. That reasonable price and those brilliant running costs make this a good, cheap model.
