The Pixma MP560, that pretty guy up top, is a compact all-in-one with WiFi, two-sided printing and a USB slot to plug in an external drive in addition to the plethora of memory card slots common to all Canon printers. It claims a speed of 6 color images per minute, which is pretty solid for a printer this size, and will retail for about $150. The Pixma MP490 is pretty much a crappier version of the MP560, without the WiFi or USB, and will go for $50 less.

The SELPHY CP790 is a little portable photo printer with a 3-inch LCD that comes in its own bucket (Canon calls it a basket, but they're not fooling us). The bucket includes space for paper, extra ink, a battery, that kind of thing, and the printer itself features some nice extras like face detection and brightness correction. It'll retail for $180.

The other two are small business-class laser printers and don't look particularly exciting. But we're digging the printer-in-a-bucket: We love any gadget that can be used either as intended or to make sand castles. [Canon: CP790, MP560]

<![CDATA[Epson Launches PictureMate Dash and PictureMate Zoom with CD Burner]]> Epson jacked up its latest 4x6 photo printers with larger LCD screens (now 3.6") and faster print times: they can handle a full-quality borderless print in 37 seconds. The new PictureMate Zoom includes a CD burner too, so you can dump a day of shooting to disc for archiving or sharing.

The new PictureMates have a revamped control panel too, hopefully easier to use than the past models. This time they have "flat, easy-to-clean" buttons, in other words, "popsicle-sticky finger proof," which must have been a concern of the soccer-mom target demographic. The Dash costs $100, while the Zoom, which also lets you print still images from CDs or DVDs, costs $200. [Epson]
