Reviews of the Canon Pixma MP600

CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive; high quality prints; fast print speeds overall, particularly quick with photo printing.
The Bad: Scans should be improved; can't use the PictBridge port to connect USB storage devices.
The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma MP600 occupies the sweet spot between quality and price. It's one of our favorite photo all-in-ones for home users.

Review Summary: But if the scanner is a less frequently used companion to the print and copy functions, we can't recommend the Pixma MP600 enough. With respectable running costs (11.9c per page) bolstering the value for money, it becomes our A-List choice.
