I bought this in a fit of dispair after yet another battle of errors with my hideously expensive Epson printer-copier-scanner. The print quality on the Canon is just as good, and the function is better, as the Epson would take either no pages or 5 pages at once. And for all that the quality is good, Canon's not a ink-drinker, either.

It's quick; it's quiet; it's compact; the quality is great. If you need a good printer at an Ab-Fab price, this is it.

I've had a Canon portable for 5 years, and, even with hard foreign travel, it also works perfectly.

I'm never buying any printer but a Canon! Never.

Replaced my Epson Photo Printer. Ink cartridge are readily available and dirt cheap. Epson was not as good. Cons: I find it a bit slow.

I upgraded to this printer, from cannon 4400, was good deal on this printer, only takes 2 brands of ink, color 24 and black, very, very good in pictures, and I dont have to wait to download my pictures anymore, from kodak software that takes forever, and sometimes kodak softweare dosent work right.
But this has picture bridge to put in pictures straight from your camera, or the way I do it now, is faster, with your memory card, and only takes 3 seconds to download. take out memory card after taking pictures and you only have to touch one button, 3 seconds to download. hurray,, hurray, Excellant printer and photo printer as well. great buy and I got for half price from 3 party seller from Iowa. thanks again if you read this...

its a great printer with all of the above comments but I hate the fact that it crops my pics automatically(and can't be stopped) when I pick borderless. AND when I pick bordered the borders are big and chunky. And all the unneccesary software? God.

BUT the prints are unbelievable, provided that you use very high quality high gloss photo paper(like what is provided with the printer).

I've owned a lot of printers - inexpensive Lexmarks to $1500+ Epsons - and this little printer is my all time favorite. Here's why I think it will be yours...

1) Price of printer - incredibly low price, that won't make you kick yourself when a better printer comes out.
2) Price of materials - this is a HUGE advantage in the long run; the ink carts are about half the price of some other printers.
3) Photo quality output - everyone who sees the print quality is blown away. It's very photographic from any decent digital camera.
4) Built in multiformat card reader - save a USB cable, it reads everything.
5) Print without the computer - I've been at the in-laws and made prints in the car (with a power adaptor) of pictures I'd raken five minutes earlier.
6) Great text printing - it's not just a photo printer, it's a regular old printer type printer, too. Fast, high quality.
7) Actually good bundled software - the software that many manufactuers include is often a joke, but not so here. Easy Photo Print and Easy Web Print are both useful, well done pieces of software that I use all the time.
8) Lots of paper choices - Canon has a full line of photo paper.

I've had friends see photos from this printer, ask me a few questions, and go and buy one right away. It's a tremendous addition to anyone's computer / digital photography toybox.
