  Strengths: Great Print Quality.

  Weaknesses: None noted.

  Overall: This all in one printer is awesome. I purchased it from Staples for approximately $35 after rebate and price matches. The print quality is great. The ink cartridges are inexpensive. The only downside is lack of an auto document feeder for scanning and faxing.

  Strengths: easy to use, simple interface, easy to setup, nice quality, decent price

  Weaknesses: sometimes a little slow, can go through ink fast if you print or copy a lot

  Overall: Overall this is a nice all-in-one. I did not experience any problems or issues.I set it up without any trouble, used a USB cable I had lying around. Prints fast enough for me. Have not faxed yet but it seems pretty straightforward. I like being able to make copies easily and instantly. Although you can waste a lot of ink if you copy small items (receipts, UPCs, etc.) because the rest of the paper prints up all black (lots of black ink goes to waste). Maybe there is a way to avoid this, perhaps putting something else on the device such as a piece of paper.Scanning is just as simple without any problems. I think newer models are faster, but this is fine for me for now.Even though you might use a lot of ink if you print a lot, there are stores that sell generic ink and its cheap and works fine.

  Strengths: Beautiful nice looking machine perfect for home or very small business.

  Weaknesses: a little bulky, small ink refills, but the looks and Canon name make up the difference.

  Overall: I've only owned it a couple days but does print really nice pictures and copies.I probably will never use the Fax but will use the Scanner/Copier which is very nice.All in all I am pretty satisified since this unit will do what I want it to do.I could of spent more for bigger options; but I thought I'd never use it anyways.

  Strengths: Fast Printing, Decent Image quality on the scanner. Cheap Ink, built in media reader

  Weaknesses: No separate ink tanks, big, media reader slow, ink cartridges are small.

  Overall: I bought this due to my old scanner refusing to work with Windows XP. I have to say that it is a very nice multifunction printer with excellent print quality. However my main gripe about it is its huge size (though there isn't much you can really do to get around this) and its very slow media reader. I'm getting about 150-300 KB a second on the reader with slow access times for my Lexar 1 GB 32x SD card. Imagine transfering a 800 MB file @ 150 KB a second.....not very fun. But its better than nothing (as I hear other multi-function printers with built in media readers do not recognize itself as a usb mass storage device in windows) Everything else is very nice though, I would definitely buy it again and get a separate media reader instead.
