Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had previously only owned EPSON printers but decided to switch to Canon because I now use a Canon Digital Rebel digital camera, which is really great by the way. I went with this printer because I wanted to get a "really good" photo printer for once, instead of just a printer that could also print photos. This printer is really great, let me tell you. A few really cool things: * USB AND USB2 connections, so if you have USB2 you can print blazing fast * Dual paper input sources! Keep photo paper in one and regular paper in the other * 8 Ink Tanks. Believe it or not, this is a good thing. Colors you've never seen! * Borderless printing. It's true, it can print all the way to the edge of the paper. * Fast. I printed a full color 8x10 photo in less than a minute! I have 2 minor issues: 1. I use Mac OS X, and the installer CD that ships with the printer is very buggy. The Easy Photo Print software won't install at all. 2. What's worse, Canon doesn't offer a download of an updated, fixed version of the software. This is not a huge issue for me, since I use iPhoto and PhotoShop for most of my printing needs, but it's still a shame. In comparing the other PIXMA printers, I went with this one due to 8 ink tanks, which believe it or not can save on ink cost, AND print speeds. The dual paper source is really handy as well. If you are looking for a PHOTO printer, this one rocks. If you are looking for a mid-range printer for mostly letters, receipts, emails, etc...don't waste your money on this one. This one is all about PHOTOS.
