Canon Pixma MP970 Specifications

By Felisa Yang on 24/10/2007

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$449.00

The good:

  • Network-ready
  • Auto duplexer
  • Large LCD
  • Control panel is easy to use and menus are well-thought-out
  • Memory card slots and PictBridge port

The bad:

  • Task speeds are slower than the last generation's
  • Print/scan quality is not up to Canon's usual standards and needs improvement across the board
  • USB port doesn't support hard drives or flash drives

The bottomline:

The Canon Pixma MP970 isn't up to the company's usually high standards. You're better off spending more for last year's MP960.
