Customer Review: Once you go Canon, you can never go back to drug store prints.
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
We (my wife and I) printed up a photo which we already had in a frame because we wanted to send it to someone and were absolutely astounded by the quality difference which came out of this printer versus the professionally produced ones from the photo counter at CVS we had been using before. The photos from this printer are bright and true to the colors, contrast, and brightness of the actual subjects we shot--our pet rabbit of 11 years in this case who died last November. The Canon prints aren't just slightly better, they are very obviously better.
But just to make sure we weren't fooling ourselves, we then printed the photo again on the cheapest grade photo paper, and again on plain (multipurpose) paper. There was no notable quality difference in the images coming out of the Canon on these three types of paper, and they all far outshined the prints from the photo counter.
So then we printed again, using the same make and model of photo paper on both the PIXMA MG8120 and our other Canon printer, the MP495 (which costs only about $79 compared to the MG8120 which sells for just under $300). While the image quality in terms of sharpness was better than the MP495 on both the MG8120 (of course) and the Kodak system used at the photo counter of the drug store, the lower price MP495 prints were still brighter and truer to color than the photo counter prints.
OK, so now the question is, is it worth it to buy the MG8120 over the MP495? It depends on what you're into. If you're really into photography or even just an avid snapshot photographer, then absolutely you should get the higher priced MG8120 featured on this page; but if you want prints which are still excellent--and I mean 'excellent'--at an incredible bargain price, then get the MP495. Both are Canon PIXMA printers, and they both blow away getting your photos done at the drug store, or Wal-Mart, or wherever it is you've been comparatively wasting your money on professional photo printing until now.
We have since reprinted every single digital photo in the house and they are all shockingly beautiful--like going from analogue TV to 1080p Hi-Definition.
OTHER FEATURES: Of course, the MG8120 also has a lot of features it's lower price cousin does not such as: a preview and system screen and ports for various kinds of input devices and cords most notably. You don't need your computer to print with the MP8120.
It's also multilingual--including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean (which have completely different writing systems of their own), but also a lot of languages you don't usually find options for on electronics devices like Croatian and Polish.
Add that this printer also has a paper tray included in the bottom, whereas paper has to be fed in the back of the MP495.
BOTTOM LINE: If you're buying a printer for school, then get the MP495 which will far exceed your needs for an incredibly low price; but if you're running a small business or you're some other kind of heavy user of a wireless printer/scanner or you're really into photography, then you should treat yourself to the MP8120--which is still a remarkable deal for all that it does at the high level of quality it delivers.
Either choice will have you never going to an outside source for your printing needs again.
