Duration of ownership: 18 Days

Strengths: Faster printing then my old unit

Weaknesses:Required cable not included. I was told I would save a lot on the price of ink but now that I have had this printer for well over a year I seem to spend far more then on my old HP.

Overall Evaluation: Now that I have had this printer for well over a year I am not really as pleased with it as I expected. It seems to always be running out of ink and the over all cost of the ink is no where near what I had been told. The quality of the printing isn't always as good as I expected either. It's not a bad printer but it's not much better then my very old HP. I may be replacing this printer sooner than I expected.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Very good with type and pictures. True to color and very sharp imiages

Weaknesses:A little slow

Overall Evaluation: This is the best printer I've had. I just junked an HP7960 that cost 3 times as munch, used more ink colors and claimed to be the greatest photo printer when I bought it. The Canon IP4200 outperforms it in every way at one third the price.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Separare ink cartridges, good print quality

Weaknesses:somewhat bulky

Overall Evaluation: The Canon PIXMA iP4200 Photo Printer uses separate ink cartridges, which helps minimize ink waste. If you've ever had a printer before that uses a single catridge for all colors, you'll appreciate this feature very much. On top of that the cartrdiges are priced reasonably compared to its competition. I do wish that the printer's weight and footprint was less, but all in all, this is a good printer. Would buy again.

Duration of ownership: 30 Days

Strengths: Auto off, nice photo print quality, Consumer Reports Best Buy twice, seperate ink tanks.

Weaknesses:Doesn't accept media, doesn't print on CD's

Overall Evaluation: None of those weaknesses make it a dealbreaker for me, for $99 that I paid it is a fantastic printer.I am not a power user by any means but so far the pictures I have printed are super and the text output is fine.I love that it shuts off, coming from a 5 year old HP that didn't and I always forgot. Keep an eye out for a low price, it fluctuates. I paid $99 and two days later saw it for $93 (both total w/shipping included) but the store I got it from would not honor their low price agreement. If you are looking for a ton of features like on printer viewer and print without a PC then this is not for you but I am thrilled with it. If I see it as low as $93 again I am getting one for my SIL.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: duplex feature, quiet, separate inks

Weaknesses:Does not have card slots, preview lcd

Overall Evaluation: Hello all,Will compare it with my HP Photosmart 7960w. This canon prints 4x6 a little faster than my old HP model with roughly the same print quality. (HP a little better due to 8-color technology versus this canon's 5-color). It does have the duplex feature, although I hardly use it, but it's handy to have anyway. It is about as quiet as the HP. It doesn't have the card slots, but it's not that big of a deal since using the card slots on my HP is very slow! The canon is better than the hp in terms of separating their inks tanks. For the HP, they combines 3 colors for each ink tank. That means that if you run out of ink for 1 color on one ink tank, you have to replace the whole thing even though there might be ink left for the other two colors. The canon ink tanks only have 1 color, so it is much more economical to replace and print photo pictures. That's why I don't use my HP anymore because it costs too much to buy the inks. So for a great, economical, and inexpensive replacement ink photo printer, this canon can't be beat.
