CNET Editors' review - Canon Pixma MP500
Hide

Very good

7.2

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Jeffrey Fuchs
Review date: 3/3/06
Release date: 8/24/05

The good: The Canon Pixma MP500 features excellent photo and text printing, built-in card readers and a PictBridge port, and individual ink tanks, including pigment-based black for text.

The bad: The Canon Pixma MP500's color scan quality is mediocre, and you have to buy your own USB cable.

The bottom line: Families and digital photo hobbyists should consider the well-designed Canon Pixma MP500 for prints, but we were disappointed by its mediocre color film scans.
