More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$199.00

The good:

  • Great print quality
  • Decent print speeds
  • Two input sources
  • Memory card slots and PictBridge port
  • Manual control of photo edits

The bad:

  • PictBridge port doesn't support storage devices
  • Slowish scan speeds
  • Control panel doesn't offer an easy way to transfer images from memory card to PC

The bottomline:

The Canon Pixma MP520 doesn't offer all the bells and whistles found on other budget all-in-ones, but it's a solid device that does the basics right while delivering best-in-class quality.
