Summary: VERY PORTABLE - INK RUNS DRY FASSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT
Review: I am a real estate agent and use this printer to print out contracts from my laptap. It fits in the front flap of my carrying case, hence negating the need for another bag. Slick, prints fast and easy to set up.
Here are some cons:
- Infrared sometimes does not "connect" as fast
- Ink dries up FAST!! Granted my contracts are lengthy, but I can't get thru one complete contract (about 25 pages) without it drying up on me.
Besides the two complaints listed above, it is great.

Summary: Doesn't include a connection cable
Review: I bought this printer based off the reviews here and the magazines reviews that I read this would be a great buy. Upon purchasing this I was amazed that printer didn't included a cable to connect to the computer or any of the hardware that they talk about being able to connect. So I had to go out and purchase my own USB cable just to finish install this piece of hardware to my computer. After that this thing worked like a champ! No major complaints. So if you are seriously intrested in purchasing this you should consider purchasing a USB cable to connect to this to your computer.

Summary: Best all around printer in it's class
Review: I do alot of on site photography and this will now allow me to print right on sight. The quality of the prints is very acceptable, it's especially nice to be able to print borderless prints. This printer should be more than acceptable for anyone wanting to document their family growing up and send the pictures to Grandma and Grandpa. I have been a professional photographer for almost 30 years and this is one of my favorite tools.

Summary: One of the Best Purchases I have Made
Review: I don't usually write reviews, but have to for this. It prints black text fast as anything. I do a lot of heavy printing and am still on both of my cartridges since I purchased it about a month ago. The one thing that I was worried about was printing pictures. I use glossy photo paper for pictures and they turn out great. It is small, portable and as good as a full size printer. I have recommended this printer to everyone. It is more than I could have asked for in a printer this size.

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: I have a 12" G4 PowerBook and wanted a portable printer for the cabin and other remote locations. Saw the i70 at the Apple Store and knew I had to have it. Tried it out this weekend and am VERY impressed with it's speed and quality of print. Also amazed at the minimal size and weight...about the size of a hardcover book. All in all, it seems like the PERFECT portable printer for a laptop owner.

Summary: Great Quality but wastes a ton of Ink
Review: I have had this little baby for over 1 year now and have no complaints what so ever about the print quality.
For a little printer, the quality is stunning.
I also bought the battery pack so printing on the go from a laptop is simple. The battery pack has provided more than enough life, lasting more than my laptop's battery.
The one complaint: very poor Mac OS X software. I mean very poor. Mac users aren't used to being asked to confirm dumb questions multiple times like PC users are.
For example, there are 2 menu options to access settings regarding the ink levels and neither of them are clear.
If you choose: Ink Level Information why should you have to click 'update?' Shouldn't the software update the information before displaying it? This is like one of those annoying PC Wizards that ask you the same question multiple times.
The other choice regarding ink is "Remaining ink level setting'
Unfortunately you have to reset the ink level settings manually...a major annoyance and inconvenience. This is done by clicking the obvious Ink Counter Rest Button in the Remaining ink level setting screen. But why is there a Remaining Ink Level Indicator Setting button? There is another menu option that displays the current ink level so what's this for? Whatever it does, it sends some message to the printer. Maybe an ink level setting reset? If so, then shouldn't the other button have done it already? Are you getting confused? see what I mean!?
Who knows. It is just stupid and confusing.
The ink level indicators are almost never right anyway, so be prepared to have to change ink cartriges in a trial and error fashion when your print quality doesn't seem right.
As a matter of fact, when there is something wrong with your print quality, don't expect the Print Utility to be much help at all.
For example, When you choose "Cleaning" there is a button that says -Cleaning: Starts print head cleaning.' What do you think will happen when you click this?
Nope. It gives you an option with check boxes: All Colors, Black, or Color. then an 'OK' button. So you have chosen the colors you want to clean and click 'ok' so what do you think will happen now?
Instead of the printer beginning to clean the heads, you are given an alert box that Asks "Clean the Print Head?" and you have to click 'OK' again.
Geeez..... talk about annoying! Just clean the damn heads already!!!! The softweare doesn't seem to know it was written for Mac OS X and not Windows.
It's a shame the software is soooo bad, because this is otherwise a really great printer.
If you get this printer, you will love the photos, but be prepared to spend a lot of $$ on ink and get a little frustrated when you need to use the utility.

Summary: Remarkable little printer
Review: I just bought this yesterday, so this is just my initial impressions.... I saw it in the store beside the HP 450. The i70 was about half the size of the 450. The Cannon rep was there and I asked for both a photo and text to be printed. The results were pretty awesome for such a tiny printer. This is just the perfect printer for a laptop. But the only connections are via USB or infra-red. No parallel port! (That official Amazon.com review is wrong about this.) It comes with AC adaptor.... Also no USB cable. So it winds up being pricey. But it's worth it. It's also very good looking... not like that older model (Cannon 85?) which was an ugly black box. The infra-red port is on the right side. My laptop's infra-red port is also on the right. Since I didn't want a backwards printer, I went with the USB connect. Installation was very easy. They give you a large, but one-page step-by-step guide. I was printing in about 15 minutes. It has one tub for color ink and a second tub for black ink. So if you print a lot of text, you won't use up that expensive color ink. I hope that this printer can last as long as an HP printer. If it can, Cannon has HP beat.

Summary: quiet and fast
Review: I just got this printer today and so far am very happy with it. Luckily, I had a spare USB cable (it comes without one!) Setup was easy and worked just as described in the manual (win xp). The print software Easy print is truely easy to use and works really well. In less than 30 minutes I had installed the printer, and 5 nice and crips photos printed (the printer comes with a trial package of 4x6 glossy paper). The most amazing feature is how quiet and fast it prints. My old Epson printer took forever to print anything and while it was printing my whole sturdy desk shook with the motion and noise. The i70 couldn't be a starker contrast to that. Be aware that you can load only 10 sheets at a time (less for photo paper and envelops).

Summary: Small Printer-Big Success
Review: I needed a small portable printer for my laptop, and after researching them, I chose the Canon i70. It has all of the attributes I needed-lightweight,super easy to use, fast as the office rumor mill, and a great print job. I highly recommend this product to anyone fortunate enough to have purchased it.

Summary: AMAZING LITTLE PRINTER
Review: I was in the market for a portable printer to use with my Fujitsu Lifebook. The portable markey is pretty small, being that there are only a very few printers that are small enough to be called portable, but still print on full-size paper. At first I didn't like anything available. I checked in depth but nothing out there really caught my eye. One day I strolled on over to Canon's website and what did I see, but the i70 listed as "Coming Soon!" I decided to hold off on buying a printer until I could see the i70 in person, which I later did. It's beautiful. It's sort of a platinum silver color, with a rich blue printhead cover. It closes easily and a small magnet keeps the bottom sheet-feeder attached to the top cover (it's way cooler than I'm describing it...) Installation was a snap. Typical of Canon. I'm running Windows XP and I have no problems in the slightest. The first thing I noticed is that it's quiet. I didn't think it was really printing until I saw the paper coming out. Second: it's FAST. It's the fastest inkjet printer I've ever used, beating out my HP 1120C in both speed, noise, and print quality. It's not labled as a photo printer, but the print quality of the i70 is just amazing. If there's a difference between this and real photo printers, I haven't seen it, nor do I care. It's good. VERY good. I have not tested the infrared communications yet... I send everything to the printer via USB, which is a breeze. To sum it up: Pros: Appearence
Speed
Noise
Quality Cons:
Not the same silver as other Canon products (such as the LiDe30) but it's still so pretty... I HIGHLY recommend this printer.
