 Canon MP500: EXCELLENT PRINTER!! December 17, 2005
james (Savannah, GA USA)
204 out of 207 found this review helpful
This printer is great!! I got this printer about two months ago, paid $150 from amazon, and I've had very few complaints. It truly is a great printer, and exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant at first to get this printer because I wasn't actually able to find it in stores (not available at the major electronic stores), and didn't have a chance to test it out ahead of time. Trust me on this though, it really is great!
PROS:
Simple to set up
Excellent print quality
Great software (easy to use)
Memory slots
Great color LCD display
Print on both sides of the paper without having to do any work!!
2 paper feeders (comes in handy...automatically switches when one is out)
Very quick
Cheap Cartridges (around $12 per color)
5-cartridge printer (when one color runs out, you don't have to replace the whole cartridge, just the one that is out)
Extremely easy to install cartridges (lights inside the printer tell you whether it is installed properly or not)
Easy to scan and copy
Quiet (once it has "warmed up"
EXCELLENT VALUE (beats most of the $300-400 printers)
CONS:
a bit BIG and clunky
no fax
takes a while to "warm up" (once it warms up...its FAST)
This is by far the best printer I have ever used. The only concern I would have is that if you don't have much space, you might be in trouble, but that would be the case with almost any other all in one (this is a little bigger than normal though). I already had a fax, so the fact it didn't have that feature wasn't a big letdown, but if you have to have a fax, I would still go with Canon (cheapest cartridges and great quality). When you turn the printer on, or if you haven't used it in a while, it will make wierd noises (I guess its "warming up"?) for 20-30 seconds, but then its good to go for a while.
I would definitely suggest this printer to anyone looking for a great multifunction printer, especially if on a budget.

I have had many printers and multifunction printers but this one has to be the best of the lot. It is easy to set up and the photo prints I have printed have had the best colors and no blurring what so ever of the lines. There are two paper trays so I keep photo paper in one and plain paper in the other so I do not have to physically get up and change out the paper. The MP500 has a smaller footprint than other multifunction printers which saves space. You can connect your camera directly to the printer or insert the camera memory card or print from your computer. This is a wonderful product and Canon knows what people want and need with a reasonable price.
CANON IS FANTASTIC! January 5, 2006

I am very impressed. I have had my printer for about a week and have enjoyed every moment. I have found it easy to use and the picture editing software is good.
PRO'S: 8 1/2 x 11 pictures are perfect! Colors are bright and vivid and extremely CLEAR! No grainy ink dots or lines.
Fast (but not a speed demon)
Ink was easy to install (click in place and a light comes on to let you know that the cartridge is installed properly).
The 2.5 inch viewing screen angles so that I can see the image on the screen even when the lamp is right above me. No glare.
The menu was easy to use. I thought it was very easy to set up for my personal preferences.
CON'S: This thing is extremely large. I have a printing drawer built into my computer desk and the MP500 would not fit into the space. Made my other all-in-one look like a baby. I had to make room for a smaller table on wheels in the corner to put this baby on and purchase a longer USB cable ($25).
USB cable is not included (most printers do not include this item).
Shiny and black make this beauty a dust magnet and shows every fingerprint.
Anyway, the cons would not prevent me from purchasing this item. I searched forever before deciding on it. I didn't think the price was bad at all for what you get. The print resolutions up to 9,600 x 2,400 dpi color and 600 x 600 dpi black are what pushed me to buy it. I'm not disappointed.
A button must be pushed to open the slot where the paper comes out. I am finally getting used to opening it before trying to print. Pushing the button will become a habit before long and I won't think much of it but it has annoyed me a little.
I bought the Canon Powershot S2 before Christmas and I think the two items truly compliment each other. I've taken amazing pictures of the moon that show craters in great detail (I'm not a very good photographer and I'm still getting impressive results) and the MP500 prints each picture beautifully. This is a winner!

I agree with all the positive reviews I have found here (except for statements about "small footprint on the desk" - this thing is rather large) and only want to add one comment. This printer gets amazing mileage from its ink cartridges. Yes, they are quite inexpensive (hooray!), but I want to emphasize that they also last a very long time. My family uses this printer on a daily basis (we don't print many photos, I must admit) and I am only now replacing some of the color inkwells for the first time, after nearly six months of use! I have replaced the main black cartridge (there is one for text, one for color printing) once already - but that is once in six months!
Just can't beat it! January 18, 2006

Wow, I can't say enough about this printer. I've tried Lexmark, HP, Dell, and now my second Canon - and THIS THING BEATS all.
PROS: It exceeds all my expectations - automatic 2 sided printing, card reader, super fast printing, AMAZING PHOTO printing... and the list goes on. Maximum DPI is 9600 X 2400. I just printed a photo that is better than most of our professional photos. I love the 2 paper trays - I put my 8.5 x 11's in one tray and 4 x 6 photos in the other. No need to switch back and forth. AND FOR 145.74!!!!! WITH FREE SHIPPING!!! I haven't been able to find it cheaper anywhere - anywhere online, any store, or even on Ebay. I'm returning my HP1510 that I was also trying out from bestbuy. THIS THING IS GREAT!!
CONS: It's big - but I like it like that - I have no need to save space.
