From Lexmark to Canon

First, I would like to say that I until now only Lexmark - users was and therefore can not draw any internal comparison with the previous model of the series!
The change for the Canon I have not regretted, however, because it turns out very positive!
The Canon PIXMA MG 5250 has my old Lexmark 3 replaced in 1 multifunctional device and leaves consistently a very good impression!
The 5250 is not only a visual treat, but also impresses with its functionality!
Specifically, my impression describes as follows:

Noticed positive

+ CD directly printable
+ Hinges from the scanner - lid can be pull out, so you can put a book between

+ Extra Installation CD - ROM for MAC
+ Absolutely elegant appearance
+ Quieter printing
+ Easy and intuitive to use
+ Home button (if one has times verfranst somewhere)
+ Memory card slots are hidden (USB would - Connection also skillfully in)
+ Is compact closed when the rear loading paper is not stored
+ 2 trays

+ Amount Software
+ No installation or software problems under XP SP3
+ Ink remains affordable

Noticed negative

- No USB - cable included (are also still people who LAN - connections prefer)
- Power cord too short (about 1.80)
- Switches off automatically when the print job does not automatically (displayed as offline), but must be initialized manually
- For full installation of the software a lot of clutter will be installed and a good piece but want to order quality improvements etc. actually "phone home" to give a couple of times to the best of my computer data. It will, however, be informed in advance and must be bound by clicking explain
- Enormous weight

Conclusion: strong buy recommendation on my part. From the price / performance ratio can not go wrong with the 5250 MG nothing! A Top processing and performance of the device justifies the price absolutely, without limitation !!!
