Thank you so much for breaking down the differences and similarities of the the Cannon 1300 & 1500. I have been trying to figure this out and wasn't having much success until I found your video. Still can't decide what I'm going to do, but I'm leaning toward the 1300.
Ordered the 1300 after this review, many thanks. For me, the battery was a fraction of the price on the 1300, and the pop up screen and buttons was a bonus.
Great video, you covered all the important bits. Also, I love your outro - comparing the print speed on the way out was actually super helpful. Looks like I'm sticking with my 1300 for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for this video. I just did an event (I'm a photographer) where I had a photo booth and was printing out images as took them. I borrowed a DNP printer which is way more expensive than these printers. While I don't print photos on site often, I was looking at the selphy to purchase so I'll have my own in a pinch. A lot of the differences doesn't apply to me as I will be using a computer and Lightroom to view and print photos. Speed is the most important thing. It's hard to tell on the video but I think the 1500 is about 10 seconds faster. Night not seen like a lot but when you have people hovering over you, waiting for photos. I want that extra 10 seconds. So I think I'll get the 1500. The DNP printer I borrowed prints in less than 20 seconds per print total. Compared to almost a minute per print with the Selphy printers
Your DNP printer is definitely more suitable for a pro gig like yours. You also need to think that it could take about 20 seconds from the moment you press print on your computer to the moment the printer starts it’s job.
super helpful! I love how unbiased this entire review is. i decided to go with the 1300 because i like having the ability to print via USB, i don't always have a c cable lying around
Thank you for doing this. You covered everything I would want to know. I was surprised to find that for me, the older 1300 is the one I want. I prefer the older USB port, the extra buttons, the tilting screen and definitely the ability to zoom in, (who konws why they decided to get rid of that function in the new one).
Problem all small usb like Mini or micro gets wobbly with the time and lost connectivity. Even usb a has that Problem. USB c? Has not that Problem even after years of use
Are you still able to print mini prints with the 1300? I have the 910 and it's now not recognizing that there's ink in it. I am constantly printing 3x4's and 2x3's The 910 lets you do that. That is an option I must have.
An excellent review which is very well organised and well delivered. It is useful for me as I have been wondering which to get. On the basis of your review, the CP1300 looks the better option, particularly at the lower price. One question - how is the CP1300 set up? You show the CP1500 set up and say it is easier, but how is the CP1300 set up?
Thanks! The setup of the CP1300 is very similar to the CP1500 apart that they won’t show you any QR code to scan. It’s not the most intuitive but once you did it, you won’t have to do it again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review 👍🏻, I think based on the video I probably would go with CP1300, but I have two questions please: 1- is there any problems with the app for CP 1300, I heard some people complaining about the app and they can not print from it and there’s no update in the App Store 2- how much is the ink and how many photos can I print per ink? Many thanks again
That's a good choice. I only used it with an Android phone and it has always worked. They are selling different ink packages depending how many you want to print. You can check the links in the description to check on Amazon. If you search there is also non original inks that are sold. The max I saw is 108 pictures with one cartridge.
I just ordered the 1500... unfortunately, I'm just not watching this video. Best Buy only had the new one. I hate that the old features were removed... I would have loved to zoom into the picture and have external buttons. I hate when they remove things from updated devices. This sucks
Canon is a pretty stupid company with occasionally non-annoying products! I wish their products would improve 10%, not get worse by 10%. If I ran Canon, it would be a GREAT company (am not kidding).
I worry about older tech being phased out/not supported - Do you think that's worth considering when comparing these two when you're looking for some longevity out of it? Considering the 1300 is six years old?
Thanks for this review, very useful. I've been using Sephy printers for the last 10 years and it's always a big moment when the new one arrive. On the surface nothing has much changed, but i'm starting to believe they updated some internal components when I see the printing time, and that's what makes the big difference in the long run. Things that where flawed in the last models : - paper feeding system that weakens with time - color accuracy (tends to be softer and less saturated compared to original files) - no way to have a permanent color fix preset in the app or printer itself - instable wifi / app connection for long batches Does this model takes external batteries like old models ? Thanks
@@printerinsider 😊 As I am Junk Journaler, mostly going to use the satin finish with the grids :) which I cannot create on any other printers, only after working with an other app on the pics.
Very clear review and straight to the point ! Love it ! I am considering buying one of these two printers but the only downside I see is that you can only print larges pictures (10X15 cms). Could you please recommend a printer with same printing quality that allows printing multiples sizes ? 🥹🙏🏾
Thanks for this very good review. I will just stay with the 1300. I thought the 1500 "satin" would be really satin but I see they just replaced the pattern 1/2/3 from the 1300 with "semi-gloss" and "satin" in the 1500 but it does the same thing.
Thanks for this review and confirming which one I want! I have an older version, 900? and have decided on the 1300. Definitely prefer the buttons and tilt screen!
Thank you for the awesome review. I was debating buying the 1500 because it’s on sale on Amazon prime but I think i really want the 1300… I have one currently but it’s no longer working. The screen says canon and won’t go past that. Do you happen to know if that can be fixed?
Hmm.. If the printer will not move past the Canon screen, it could mean there is not enough power or there is something wrong with the printer itself. You can try unplugging the printer from the power and pressing the power button 10 times while the printer is unplugged. Once the power button has been pressed 10 times, you can plug the printer into a different outlet and then you can try turning it on again. If the printer will still not get past the Canon screen, it would mean there is something going on with the printer's hardware.
Thank you so much. I will definitely try those steps later. I know I did try a few things before but it’s been awhile. I miss using it so hopefully this works! Have a great day!!!
Can you help me which one is the higher model and better quality and worth buying? Being a model higher than 1300, 1500 is more expensive. Which one is the higher model and better quality?
Do you have to have wifi for these printers to connect to your android phone? I've called cannon and they didn't give me a straight answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I just used a PIXMA MG3620 that can print documents, scan and also print pictures. Quality wise it's great the only downside is connectivity. It took me some time to be able to set it up properly so better get one from a place you can return it in case you have too much troubles connecting it to your computer or phone.
Hello, I have a trouble with 1300 with a dark line running across one side of the photo. I have seen it's a common problem / design flaw. What about 1500, is it still present? Thanks

Hi, I prefer the features of the older 1300, but I can see complaints that it doesn't work with windows 11. Did you try it with a PC running windows 11?
@@clivebushnell8428 If I remember correctly, I did not install a driver. I just plugged it in and windows recognized it. It is certain that there was no need for tricks. ;)
There are not many 4x6 photo printers out there. There is still the Epson PictureMate PM-400 but it has not been updated since 2015. Same goes for the Kodak Dock that has been released in 2016 and is still selling.
A question does the charger have to be in at all times or can you charge it and then leave the cord and bring the printer with you? Like does it have a built in battery?
The CP1500 does not have drivers for Windows 7. Plus it appears there is already a firmware update for the printer. Mine did not connect to a Windows 10 pc either.
@@printerinsider I figured it out. I wanted to connect via USB cable but that wasn't working on anything. To get it working 'on' Windows 10 I had to connect the CP1500 to my wireless router using WPS. Once the printer connected to the wireless router I could add the printer to Windows 10 giving it the IP address assigned by the router. Everything is happy now. It won't work on Windows 7. They didn't write drivers for Windows 7. Thanks.
Thanks. I will DEFINITELY avoid the 1500 thanks to you! That is terrible what they did to the interface+display. Yikes. It's hard enough to use already! But still, good. I have to maintain mine regularly clean the rollers and occasionally take it apart to pull out ink plane gunk. But yeah it really looks like the 1500 has nothing to offer. The 1300 is easy to take apart- did you tear them down to see if they are the same inside? That would really really really be worth knowing. The 1300 has a problem when it gets old the tolerances give and they start eating the ink planes. So it might be worth transferring the 1500 innards to a 1300 if no changes were made to the printing mechanism!
I have the selphy CP 1300 in white and I rather that one than the newer version. I used it at a church fundraiser and we made good money with it. Noone complained about the quality.
If you can get a 1300 for a lot cheaper than a 1500 then you should go for it. Apart that, it's up to you to decide if the usb-a port, more buttons and adjustable screen of the 1300 is more important than the more modern look, satin print option and bigger screen of the 1500. At the end of the day the end result is the same.
From the Side by side comparison, it looks like the 1300 has slightly better picture quality. If you look at the window in the background youll see the 1300 has more detail because the highlights arent as completely blown out. You can see the bars.
Has anyone had any issues with the printer saying wrong ink wrong paper ? It worked when I used it then the next day it says that …? I went to buy a new one and the new one did the same exact thing ! ANYONE ? I’ve reset it numerous times changed the paper ink , anyone know what to do,???? PLEASE

You won’t regret it. Enjoy !
Hi, do you use the 1300 with a Windows 11 computer?
I used it with a Windows 10 and it worked well, it should work with 11 as well but I have never tried.
No
How it's so far? How many pictures you print and dose still have ink
Thanks
Ordered the 1300 after this review, many thanks.
For me, the battery was a fraction of the price on the 1300, and the pop up screen and buttons was a bonus.
Nice video! I have a 1300 and was wondering if I should upgrade and now I think I'll keep the one I have! Thank you!
How about the paper photo? I heard that cp1500 can’t use kp180in
The last part was what I wanted to see. Thank you.
Great video, you covered all the important bits. Also, I love your outro - comparing the print speed on the way out was actually super helpful. Looks like I'm sticking with my 1300 for the foreseeable future.
Canon screwed up, the CP1500 is a flop. The CP1300 is perfect and needs no improvements. What were there thinking????
