A long time I was thinking to buy a photo printer, and then opted for the Canon. The unit I am very satisfied. This printer is worth the money. The build quality is great and the service very easy. The change from paper and transfer film is quickly and easily. Mostly I print my pictures directly from the card, you select the format (but then applies to the entire print job), select the images and the number of copies. Then the little box gets going and it has become very fast printouts in great quality. All who have seen the Canon ever in action were impressed. If the printer is not in use, it comes back as the unit dusty quickly and then the image quality in the original packaging. Only downside I find the drivers for XP, the installation (.net, etc.) took forever and you can not print frames, go indulge in the unit also 2.4, xx images on one sheet. However one can make great enlargements over the PC. My recommendation: buy!
