Will Canon compact photo printers work with Nikon digital cameras?

Question by chadratic: Will Canon compact photo printers work with Nikon digital cameras?
I’m interested in buying a Nikon D300 this week, but was very interested in using a Canon compact photo printer. I know most people’s first response will be to buy a Canon Camera, but I have about ten years of Nikon lenses that I’m not too keen to part with at a loss, so finding a portable printing solution is kind of foremost right now…thanks!

Actually, my first response is: You’re spending $ $ $ on a Nikon D300, only to ruin its images with an inkjet home printer?!

Real photo labs (including http://www.shutterfly.com/ ) were made for cameras like yours. Chemical processing, sharp images, any size under the sun. Doesn’t that sound nice?

That said, if the lab is closed and you need photos for a party that starts in ten minutes, then slightly blurry, easily scratched home prints may be your only possiblity.

So to answer your question: yes.

You should probably be able to connect your camera to the Canon printer directly. USB cords tend to pretty similar on that end. If not, the printer also has slots where you can directly insert your memory card. Both Nikon and Canon cameras tend to use SD or Compact Flash cards, depending on model.

EDIT: In fact, when I worked at the camera shop, customers bought Canon printers to use with any brand camera. And I’ve yet to hear of compatibility issues.
