Canon Reviews

About 6 months after buying the S450, I started getting paper jams from hell. I called Customer Service and they replaced it with a refurbished model. 4 months later the same problem has surfaced. It wastes ink like crazy and the so called economical ink tanks cost a fortune since I was reprinting pages because of the very frequent paper jams. I never had this problem with my HP Deskjet which I owned for 4-5 years!!!

I upgraded and added a scanner in one fell swoop with this cheap and easy set-up. Cannon rocks!

At first I was concerned about the printer and scanner, and wan't sure whether it came with all the cables and ink cartridges. I was surprized to find everything was together and everything was included. The S450 printer prints extremely fast, is easy to set up, and last a long time. The scanner is equally as efficent, as photos are exact images. This is a wonderful product.

When I first purchased the S450 it worked well. Then about 3 months later, the feeder began feeding 2+ sheets through at the same time. I exchanged that unit with Canon and within 1 month I started have the same problem with an added twist, ink smuge. Take my advice, RUN LIKE HELL WHEN YOU SEE THIS PRINTER ON SALE!!!

I purchased this printer about two half years ago from an online
market. It worked for about 2 days, I called Canon and got a replacement and after three cartridge wells exchanges it worked just fine. So, after some tinkering and UPS packages I got mine to work just fine for the next two years. Of course, until last night when my three year spilled a cup of milk into the print bay. I need suggestions for a new printer ;-) Richard

great printer, its extremely fast and prints with great quality. it's also nice to have seperate ink tanks, and the printing quality of canon

I have had this printer for a little over a year now. I got it ...last fall and hoped to use it for color printing mainly, but also to print small black and white documents (I have access to a laser printer for most black and white). I bought it because of the low priced ink tanks.
What I have found out is that the S400 does not print when I want it to. At first, I was using the parallel port connection (don't even think about doing this). The connection isn't fast enough for the printer and every page you try to print will be illegible. Using the USB connection has helped, but I still throw out about 1 out of every 3 pages that I print because they don't come out correctly.
In short, the S400 isn't reliable. I find myself walking across the building to print a single page instead of trying for 20 or 30 minutes on my S400. Don't buy this printer. It will be a waste of your time and money.

I got this printer after going through two Epson printers over the years. The Epson printers, both top rated in consumer mags, often produced messy pages with smeared ink. I had to constantly run the cleaning utility. The cartridges on the Epsons also clogged all the time. The same thing happened to my sister's Epson. Too much trouble for a basic printer. Getting back to Canon--this printer has been great. No clogged cartridges or messy pages. One thing--I seem to get better printed text when I select graphic rather than text for the type of print mode.

I bought this printer after my old Epson 400 died, and am very satisfied! Driver software offers a lot of control over the printer and even allow for an option to turn the printer on and off automatically as needed. (pretty cool because my printer is out of the way!) Color ink can be replaced one color at a time or all together. Ink is pretty cheap too. Black print speed is great and color is sharp. I recommend it if you want a low-cost alternative to high priced HPs and low quality Epsons.

Very overpriced compared to exact model here in Erlangen, De ( that's here in Germany.) The photo shop here in the mall is selling them brand new for 369 Euro ( 1 euro = $.93 US.)

I think the pro 70 is very good digital Camera,if you want to take some simple picture for your trip or party, you should select a small size, and cheaper one, because this one is a big one, and it is heavy, BTW, it need an extra flash light, no internal flash.

But if you really care about the quality of your picture and want to take some good pic, esp for the use of your web site or your company's web site, you really need it, it is the one designed as a digital camera, not changed from the regular camera, and the color is pretty good, it give you the rich color and good layer. never compare the 70mm to some 120mm or 135mm, they are useless in most of time, but the 28mm is very useful, when you take some pic of the flower or the face of a baby, it is very useful, also this camera are good for night view shoot as a professional camera, it has big lens. The LCD screen can be foled, it is usefully when you want to take self shoot. Any, I like it very much, it is very good camera for those person who like take photos, and want some high quality picture.

I found this camera very easy to use right out of the box. One thing I see was not mentioned was its capability of using the new IBM micro drive avaiable in 170 or 340 mb . I have the 340 mb and it will hold 928 high res pictures ! It would be great for a vacation or other high capacity needs. this drive is pricey ($ 499.00), but the capacity is worth it ! I highly recommend this camera !
