  Strengths: Fast. Easy install.

  Weaknesses: Large footprint. Flimsy rear paper holder.

  Overall: After much research, I ordered oe of these printer as a gift for my college bound niece. When It arrived, I was green with envy. I ordered one for myself and I am really enjoying it. Very fast prints with no smudging. Excellent scans. The rear paper tray seems a bit flimsy, but it has a tray/drawer underneath as well. This is my third Canon printer and I wouldn't think of any other brand. Its not a laser and it won't print CD/DVD. That's about the only bad thing I can say.

  Strengths: Excellent photo prints. Media slots make for easy printing directly from the memory cards.

  Weaknesses: No fax capabilities. Solid software package is included and very easy to use but performs a bit slowly.

  Overall: This is one of the best all-in-one printers for sale right now. It does a fantastic job at printing photos, which it was meant to do. If Canon combined the features of the MP780 and MP760 they would put the competition to shame. Best of all the price of this unit is quite reasonable.

  Strengths: Canon quality

  Weaknesses: Slight audible high frequency sound coming from the printer, really not noticeable unless you?re within a foot or two of the machine. May be of concern if printer is located where you sleep. No fax.

  Overall: Great photo all-in-one printer, great functions to copy from slides and negatives. This scanner has a lamp built into the lid for proper slide and negative scanning. Duplex or copy to both sides as it's commonly known is done within the printer, no need to flip the paper over. Paper can be loaded manually or load the built in cassette with paper and your done, I loaded my photo paper into the cassette to avoid dust build up onto the print surface. Copy, Scan, Print without the PC running or even better purge photos from a memory card and print an index of your photos without PC. You can even edit enhance photos within the built in LCD without PC. This printer is user friendly; a novice will pick up the functions fast. Software suite is ok not the best but gets the job done, includes Arc-Soft Image Suite and Omni-Page SE. Decent scan speeds, Has a function for speedy B/W printing which is the fastest I have seen for an inkjet. Quality color photos, better than my old Epson. Ink is very affordable and the ink head is replaceable. Does not seem to bleed through when printing color on plain paper with setting on normal or default. When you use Canon paper for photos its better than original, no disappointments here. Never had a paper jam. If you need a fax function which the MP760 lacks use an on-line fax source. No clumsy power block, it's built into machine. MP760 is not a huge machine but its going to take up some space on your desk, 14"d x10"h x 20"w the actual footprint is 12"x17" height with lid open is 23".This all-in-one is the one to have. Looks and feels like a quality printer.

  Strengths: Media card adapter, negative slide adapter, color LCD for picture preview, and my favorite is the built in duplexer to turn the pages over while printing.

  Weaknesses: Initally had a hard time setting up, then I read the directions....install software, then attach cable, then power up.

  Overall: The machine is a little larger than I had inticipated, but hey I'll get over it. Sort of wished it had built in fax. I know it's big brother has built in fax & a sheet feeder also with duplexer, but this machine is centered a little more to pictures. I have yet to try the text recognition, but I'm sure it will do just as good as a job (to put editable text into Word). Thinking about getting one for Ma.
