Summary: Canon i950 is awesome
Review: I love this printer! The Canon i850 has 4 color tanks, this i950 has 6 seperate color tanks. The two extra tanks are specifically for photo rendering. A nice thing about the printer driver is it shows you graphically the levels in the ink tanks so you can prepare to replace whichever tank is low prior to it running out of ink during a print job. This results in a cost savings by allowing you to replace individual color tanks instead of throwing out an entire print cartridge, where some of the other colors may not be empty. Check out stevesdigicams.com for a comprehensive review of this printer. I have only printed 4x6 photos so far, using the Canon G3 as my capture device, and the prints are not distinguishable from professional photo lab prints to the naked eye. The colors are rich and vibrant, and it prints amazingly fast. I think it took only like 10 or 15 seconds to print each 4x6 photo. I bought this to be a photo printer, as I do my volume printing on a b/w laser, but I am extremely pleased with this printer's ability to produce outstanding photo images. I will never need to use professional photo finishing again.

Summary: Super Canon
Review: The Canon i950 is my first photo printer and I am truly impressed. I did a lot of research and discussed different printers with friends. Several of my friends use Epson printers and tried to convince me to buy one. I am so glad I purchased the Canon instead it is much faster and much quiter. I highly recommend and would purchase again.

Summary: Nice set up
Review: I got this to go along with a Canon scanner (LIDE 30) to make copies of prints after having them developed. So far it works great. I do have some concerns with the waste tank, but it seems to only really be an issue if you're obsessive about doing head cleanings. My first print (3"x5") came out in about 20 seconds from a USB 2.0 connection. Doesn't get much better than that.

Summary: Amazing printer
Review: I've had the printer for a week now and am truly amazed. I had the printer up and running inside of 5 minutes on a WinXP machine. The printer is so fast and quiet I had a printout before I knew it had even started--I don't see a need for the quiet mode.

I've tried several different papers all with good success. Most of them look like a chemical process photo. One thing to keep in mind is the recommended dry time, as some papers look odd until they completely dry; the software gets the job done with little hassle. You can have borderless photos with a few clicks.

For the money you can't go wrong.

Summary: Never have to pay for prints again!!!!! Canon ROCKS!
Review: In just a word BEAUTIFUL! Just recieved today and replaced my S800 which I would have stayed with if it did full bleed printing. Easy setup no problems. Software is great for quick on the go novice who doesn't want a bunch of who to's. I use Jet Print Photo® Professional Photo Paper and looks as good as Canons Photo paper pro and not as expensive. I especially like how the printer closes all the way around to keep the dust out. Talk about fast printing I did a 8x10 in under 2mins and a 4x6 in about 30secs. The price from Amazon.com was the best I found AMAZON.COM you rock as well. Fast and reliable service as always KUDOS to you and CANON. Oh yeah my Canon G3 pics come out as good if not better then a photo finisher and for alot less. Sooooooooo Happy.

Summary: Superb!
Review: The much ballyhooed "digital darkroom" is finally a reality. The images that this printer produces are smooth, detailed, and without any dots visible to the unaided eye. Indistinguishable from a lab print.

To get some idea of the fineness of grain, consider the following. I printed a 3.3 megapixel image (approx. 2000 x 1600 pixels) as an 8X10 image. Upon extreme magnification, I could actually see IMAGE pixelation - the printer could resolve the individual color squares that composed the image. This means that, at least for 8X10s, the printer is outperforming my camera. Extraordinary!

I had been using a Canon S600. This was OK for images viewed from a distance, but had unacceptable dithering ("dottiness") viewed at close range. The i950 images, on the other hand, look GREAT close up. You can produce 4X6 prints that you wouldn't be embarrassed to put in an album. Or give to friends.

The bottom line is that desktop printing quality may continue to evolve, but after the i950, I don't think many of us could tell the difference. Now if only they could bring down the cost of paper and ink. . .

Summary: Unbelievable printer for the price!
Review: This is my second photo printer and the detail and color are far superior to my other one (an Epson photo 870). My photo's look as good if not better than ones I get developed at a photo shop. I use a Mac G4 both OS9x and OSX and am very pleased with the compatibility with Canon. The price is amazing! This is a $300-400 dollar printer! I did a lot of research before buying a new 'under $350' photo printer and read reviews on the i850 and on this one before it came out from people in the UK who highly recommended it. The additional photo ink colors are well worth it. The text is also great. I'm quite impressed.

Summary: Only good print quality on canon paper
Review: I just got my i950 and print several photo, I print on glossory photo paper (1440*720dpi), and got very bad result. then I print on a 0.7mil(2880 dpi) premium photo paper, also got bad result, slightly better than glossory photo paper. but when I use canon photo paper pro and matte photo paper, I got very good quality. but canon photo paper pro is so expensive, almost 1$ for one sheet(8.5x11) in Fry. so I suppose canon just as Epson make money from their ink, canon make money from their photo paper.if you want print good quality photo, it's seem you must use canon printer/canon photo paper/canon ink/canon digital camera....all canon's!!!

If you don't like to use canon photo paper, you'd better select Epson or HP, I used Epson printer before, Epson printer seem print good quality on many kind of cheaper photo paper, and now with 1440x5760.

I just feel disapointed with canon i950 can't print good quality on third party photo paper....

Summary: Whisper quiet, true photo quality, wonderful build quality
Review: I don't use the phrase 'photo quality' lightly. My first printer (an epson 500) never printed anything that looked like a photo. My second inkjet (a lexmark z53) printed near photo quality. The i950 prints much quieter than my epson & lexmark, and *much* quicker, and produces honest-to-god real photo quality prints.

The quality of the canon, hardware & software-wise, is much higher than the z53, but it did cost me about $100 more - and it's well worth it imho.

Visit canon's web site for the latest drivers (and I did use nice paper too). I'll update my review over time to reflect the long-term reliability.

Summary: Canon i950
Review: Received the printer a couple of days ago, have printed several photos of various sizes up to 8x10. Printer is used to produce picures of products to be sent to buyers. Image quality was very good - colors were true and images sharp (depending on input of course). Software supplied was easy to use and offered a variety of choices as to image orientation, print quality, cropping, print size etc., which was very helpful. Overall, very satisfied so far.
