Routine scanning of pictures and documents is fast, accurate and of high quality on the default settings. I am very satisfied with the digitisation of colour positive slides and the bundled software is a real bonus. Overall great value for money.

Good solid printer, was able to attach via network. However developed fault in paper feed recently after about a year or so of fairly light use.

I have had this scanner for a couple of weeks. I have scanned photographs and slide so far. I find it excellent. Some of the slides are not as good as I had hoped but that might be down to the quality of the slide rather than the equipment.
Some have complained about the slide/negative carrier being flimsy? OK, its not made of steel but unless one is very heavy handed it should last a life time. It is a bit fiddly to put away however.
The software it comes with is OK. Some have complained about it but it suits me. If you are looking for a flatbed scanner you could do much worse and pay more.

I bought this printer in US to realize the UK Inks would fit, but would not work. After "paying" for new 3180 in UK, it begin having problems only one month after the purchase. By them I had no warranty anymore!
From paper jammed to cartridge malfunctions, it had it all. Avoid it.
I had a Visioneer 9000, but it was incompatible with Windows Vista, so I bought the Canon. Unfortunately I have found it to be very slow. Scanning documents at 150 dpi each page takes 50 seconds. The actual scan takes 7 seconds, the remainder was waiting for it to do whatever it gets up to before the scan starts.
The Visioneer used to start scanning as soon as you pressed the button, or in other words it was a race to keep up with it when scanning multipage documents.
The software that comes with it is confusing. I ditched most of it as pretty useless in the end (Page Manager and ArcSoft Photo Manager).
True, it's not expensive, but then neither was the Visioneer. I don't think I would recommend this scanner to anyone.

Lovely printer, good value, wifi works brilliantly.
I bought this to replace an aged 895CXi, and it hasn't disappointed in anyway. Quick, quiet, good output. Lovely to have a network printer at this price. I really can't fault it. I don't us it much for plain text - use mono laser for that - but anything mixed, or that I need in colour is dispatched really nicely. I do use inkjet paper to minimise bleed/spidering, and it's worth it.

I use this printer working from home for general printing, scanning and copying. I have a separate printer for photo printing. For small business use its pretty good. It replaced a Hp office jet J5780 which went in the bin after the scanner gave up and the software fixes rubbished my laptop. The Cannon is better alround. Quick printing,good software interface. Only 4 starsbecause strangely the copy button is on the left of the panel and the colour/black and white select button is on the far right. Can not comment about the ink use/cost. I suspect it will be about the same as its competitors, grossly expensive, but thats why the printer is realitively cheap.

In April 2008 I purchased from Amazon my MX700, after reading many reviews on various websites, I was reluctant to purchase another brand having always bought HP printers. The reason behind purchasing another brand, was due to conflicts between two HP printers on my wired netwotk, which HP support could not overcome.
I certainly do not regret the choice, I have found my MX700 excellent. The initial installation needs to be done carefully following the instructions given by canon.
My MX700 is installed on my wired network, and is easily accessible from my PC and laptop.
This machine has several features not common in other printers in this price range. In particular the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) works brilliantly, I've never had a paper jam, either ... Read More:

I bought this printer as a replacement for the Epson R200 which was a fantastic photo printer for 4 years (until the print head started playing up).
Having read loads of reviews singing the praises of the RX585, particularly for its photo printing quality, I opted for this model. What a disappointment!
The photos I printed intially on glossy inkjet photo paper were very grainy in appearance and colours (especially black) were poorly matched to the actual colours, with the black printing as red.
However, once I used Epson's own premimum glossy photo paper prints are perfect and would give photo labs a run for their money.
Overall the printer is very good and software fairly easy to use, but photo quality is only good as long as you ... Read More:
