Canon Zoemini C and S instant cameras unveiled with built-in Zink printers

28 Mar

Canon Europe has unveiled its new Zoemini S and Zoemini C, follow-up products to the original Zoemini portable printer launched last year.

The two new camera models feature an integrated printer that supports Zink adhesive-backed photo paper, enabling users to directly capture and print their images as small stickers. The Zoemini S is the flagship model, offering mobile app support and select other features the Zoemini C lacks. Although it’s Canon Europe that made the announcement it was Canon Deutschland that uploaded an introduction video to YouTube. There’s no audio, but the overlaid text is in German.

The Canon Zoemini S features an 8MP camera and a microSD card slot for directly capturing and storing images. The camera itself is quite basic, featuring a front-facing mirror, ring light, Bluetooth connectivity, and an integrated Zink printer.

The Zoemini S model supports Canon’s Mini Print App for Android and iOS, which receives images from the camera over Bluetooth. Device owners can use the app to apply image filters, create collages, and print 2 x 3in / 5 x 7.6cm photos, as well as remotely triggering the camera’s shutter and setting a timer.

The Zoemini S will be offered in Pearl White, Matte Black, and Rose Gold color options starting on April 25.

Joining the Zoemini S is the Zoemini C, which features a 5MP instead of 8MP sensor alongside a microSD card slot and integrated Zink printer. The Zoemini C model likewise features a front-facing selfie mirror, but does not feature a ring light or support the Canon Mini Print App.

The Zoemini C will be offered in Bumblebee Yellow, Bubble Gum Pink, Mint Green, and Seaside Blue colors starting April 25.

Both camera models will be shipped with 10 sheets of Zink adhesive-backed photo paper and as of publishing there is no pricing information available.

The Canon Zoemini is a small and lightweight portable photo printer

04 Aug

Despite most images existing exclusively in digital format these days, there is a good choice of portable photo printers available in the market and Canon has just added a brand new option to the segment in the shape of the Zoemini.

At 160 g and measuring only 118 x 82 x 19 mm, the Canon Zoemini is lighter and smaller than most comparable products and very similar in size to the smartphone you would typically pair it with, making it easily storable in any bag.

Like most printers of this type, the Zoemini uses ZINK printing technology – ink is stored in water- and tear-resistant 2” x 3” photo paper. Larger output sizes can be achieved through the Canon Mini Print app that allows you to “spread” images across four or nine of the self-adhesive sheets.

The Canon Zoemini and the corresponding mobile app for Android and iOS will launch on September 5th. In Europe it will retail at €140 (approximately $ 160). No information on pricing and availability in other regions has been provided yet.
