!! kind of SCAM. Uses colour inks for black in...

Strengths: very good features, but..

Weakness: ..using the colour inks for grey and black makes it incredible expensive!

customer support from canon confirmed that..! Hard to believe: if a customer prints in black you for sure expect that the big black ink catridge is used, but no.. so these guys scams their customers. I m very dissapointed, had used canon products for years - but no more in the future..

Great All in One

Strengths: Fast print speeds; excellent color reproduction; lots of features.

Weakness: Pricey; large and heavy; instruction manual could be clearer; no usb cable included

Set up the MX850 to replace a HP6310 I was having lots of problems with. The MX850 was much faster than any HP I've had in the past. I taped a color swatch to a paper and copied it. The machine was able to distinguish between the area covered by the tape and the unobstructed area. Fax speed was fast. Haven't had time to explore all of the features, but I'd recommend this unit without question....

Great All-in-One with only one major flaw.

Strengths: Simply put this machine is a great printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine. It also connects to home networks via an ethernet cable easily. It has a great variety of features and very few flaws.

Weakness: The main problem i have had with the machine is that it cannot differentiate between incoming telephone and faxes.

This all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax does a good job in every aspect. The printer is a high quality one and as good as any stand alone inkjet printer i have used at home. The Copier also works splendidly, although the copies come out a little lighter that i would like (requiring manual adjustments to darken each time). I haven't used the scanner that often, but when used the images were...

Great For a Home Office

Strengths: Outstanding text quality, built-in duplexing and automatic document feeder, two paper trays, Mac (Leopard) compatibility

Weakness: Big and heavy, networking/sharing support could be improved, photo quality not fantastic

I purchased the MX850 as a replacement for a similar HP Photosmart 3310 that I had been using for several years with my Mac and Windows PCs. I was generally satisfied with the HP; it included built-in wireless networking and had outstanding photo quality. After upgrading to OS X 10.5 Leopard, however, the HP model was rendered useless for anything other than basic printing on my iMac, even with...

So far, so good...

Strengths: Slick scan to network. Intuitive front panel. Solid build. Duplexing saves a few trees. Attractive styling and color.

Weakness: Small paper tray. CID scanner.

This is my first Canon printer. The reviews of the Pixmas have been good so I thought I'd give one a shot. I've had Epson, HP, and Lexmark in the past. I've been happy with each. I was looking to a HP all-in-one until I started checking out the reviews. It sounds like HP quality and support is not what they used to be... but on to the Canon review. If I had used the "Easy" setup I'm sure things...

Very Good Product

Strengths: -Solid product -Easy set up -Controls and options are easy to understand -Fax distinctive ring capabilities -Manages paper very well -Good dust cover -Beautiful color or black and white copies

Weakness: None so far

This multi-function printer is pretty good and so much better at everything than the MP130 was. I have only had it a few weeks , so I have not tried everything out yet. Regular print quality is excellent. Copying is great. Scanning comes out just as good as copying. Photo printing is excellent. If your looking at this just remember to consider its size. I don't think it's really any bigger than...

Very solid so far

Strengths: Works well, no excessive software to install, network connectivity.

Weakness: Supposedly uses color inks for two-sided printing, even for black and white documents. A little bulky.

Great printer so far, easy to setup with a ton of features. Have been using it to scan two-sided documents and it's blazing fast. Two paper feeders are great as I can load photo and copy paper and switch between the two on demand. Canon software is quite slim, unlike gigabytes of "stuff" HP printers require.
