Strengths: compact good looks
Weaknesses: Frequent jams, high ink costs per print
Overall Evaluation: Poor ink management makes this a cheap printer to buy, but an expensive printer to maintain. Photo reproduction is mediocre, even when compared to other budget printers. I've experienced frequent paper jambs, particularly from the front loading tray. It does have crisp black ink printing, but the cartridges are expensive and an internal chip prevents them from being refilled.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Fast, great printing quality, low price, auto-power on/off, 2 paper feed directions, and separate ink cartridges(interchangeable with other Canon printers).
Weaknesses: Basic features.
Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer to replace my two old Epson printers because the ink cartridges for them were becoming costlier and harder to find. I'm glad that Canon has one uniform line of ink cartridges for most models so that I don't have to worry about its cartridges running out of production for quite a long while. The printing quality is definitely outstanding, at least, compared to my other two Epson's. Very clear text printing without smudges. Beautiful photo prints especially with the photo glossy paper included in the box. Overall, very satisfied.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Compact, sleek, fast, quality to price ratio is excellent. 4 trade component for separate replacement of cartridges.
Weaknesses: Lack of features, replacement cartridges are NOT THAT CHEAP (versus MP390 etc.),Occasional jams.
Overall Evaluation: Overall, it's best to purchase this printer with a camera combo, because you will get additional savings. Purchasing the printer by itself is definitely not worth it given the lack of features. However, as a combo purchase with your digital camera, then it is more than a worthy photo printer for your BASIC NEEDS. Recommend only as a secondary printer.

Strengths: For the price that you can get the printer for its a good printer.
Weaknesses: Expensive for a low end photo printer out of the box.
Overall Evaluation: Most of the iP line printers are good but the only knack is that the inks are expensive which makes these printers throw away printers if you can get them for free or close to free after rebates.

Strengths: Quite surprise of the print quality, speed, and 2 paper trays.
Weaknesses: Basic with no extra features, like memory slot readers, and legal size paper or smaller only.
Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer the same time I bought a Canon SD800 camera so cost of printer was very cheap after rebate. Since I do most of my heavy printing at work, this printer is perfect for my home when I need occasional printouts and when I want to do photo prints. When I do have the need to use this printer, I'm quite surprise of the print quality on such a low cost printer. The speed is actually decent too, on par with the higher cost printers of $150-200. Also, nice that it uses 4 separate ink cartridges so save on cost. We all know black is the 1st color that runs out. The lack of extra features isn't as surprising since it IS a low cost printer. Usually, Canon have rebates for this printer so you can get it for very cheap. This printer is great for the simplistic person. People that want more gadgetry will be disappointed with this printer but should had known that at the low cost. As a warning, if you're using photo paper, it's best to use the back paper holder since using the front will roll the paper during printing.

Strengths: Low Price and fairly small size. Printing quality is great. Fast printing and may have a rebate.
Weaknesses: Inkjet, fairly basic (but to be expected), needs more features.
Overall Evaluation: Great printer for the basic printing jobs needed at home. Print quality is great and the print speed will not dissapoint you. As usual this printer is a great product made by Canon and my next printer purchase will most likely be a Canon.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Fast! Beautiful! Low Price!
Weaknesses: Front paper loader dust catching. Color photos have yellowish tint.
Overall Evaluation: I have owned this printer for many weeks and I am very happy with it. The print out is very clear and not streaky even though the photos can have a yellowish tint to them. I owned the Canon Pixma Ip3000 many years ago and that had a better design for the front paper loader as a ream of paper is hidden in its own covered slot: the IP3500 exposes the paper and it is dust-catching. But the speedy print process more than makes up for this latter oversight in design.On the whole I really like this printer and I only paid $59 from Amazon.com.
