Customer Review: A great multi-function device.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the MP600 Canon, and I'm very happy with it (This page is for the MP610, and the MP900 is being sold now--I don't know what the differences are, but they look essentially the same).
POSITIVE ASPECTS
I bought this device so that I could scan my artwork and other print material and save it in Adobe PDF files. This works very well, because now I have backup copies, I can easily store large quantities of print material, and I can easily carry and access this material on my laptop.
The device has a very simple interface that was easy to understand after just a few minutes of playing with it.
It can be used as a copier ("xerox") without being hooked up to a computer. It also has memory card slot which allows other functions like storing data or printing photos from a camera without being hooked up to a computer.
When hooked up to your computer, you can use it as a standard printer, and you can also use it as a scanner. Using the simple interface you can choose whether you want to scan as a PDF or a JPG file, and whether you want black & white or color scans. Unlike some other scanners, the scanned files are optimized for regular-sized viewing on your computer-- that is, the scan looks decent at regular size, and the scan is relatively small in terms of kilobytes (thus making it easier to store or send via email).
POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS
If you work in an office, you may be familiar with office-quality printers and scanners-- be aware that prints and scans using this device will not be the same high quality. A standard large office printer may cost $40,000-$60,000. A large stand-alone scanner is also expensive, takes up lots of desk space, and has no other function except being a scanner. This type of equipment will produce very high-quality prints and scans, but it's far more than the average person needs at home.
The resolution of prints and scans from this device is not especially high. For example, if you want to blow up a portion of a photo that you've scanned, it may come out a little fuzzy. Prints, likewise, are not perfect. Don't expect to print a photo on this printer and have it look like a glossy 4x6 that you just picked up at the photo shop. However, I'd say that the quality of prints and scans from this device is FAR greater than anything you could have gotten from a personal printer or scanner 10 or even 5 years ago.
Also, the scanner is a little slow compared to modern office equipment. If you want to scan entire books of material, you will need some patience.
In total, the Canon MP series offers a number of easy, useful functions in a relatively cheap, compact, well-designed package. As long as you understand that the resolution will not be quite as good as you've seen it on your office equipment, you should be very satisfied with this device, as I have been.
