Review

Like all PowerShot digital cameras, the A430 works seamlessly with Canon’s petite SELPHY Compact Photo Printers such as the SELPHY CP510, CP710 and CP600 models – press the lighted Print/Share button, and within 58 seconds, images emerge. At 28 cents-per-print, printing photos directly from a digital camera is both easy and affordable.
