Canon Pixma MX300 Specifications

By Felisa Yang on 18/09/2007

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$179.00

The good:

  • Excellent print and scan quality
  • Fast photo prints
  • Inexpensive
  • Lots of capacity options when it comes time to replace the ink
  • Memory can store incoming faxes for later

The bad:

  • Slower than the competition at most tasks
  • Not network-ready
  • No ADF
  • No memory card slots
  • LCD is not backlit

The bottomline:

If you work in a one-person office and are on a tight budget, the Pixma MX300 is a good fit; you won't find better quality output from comparably priced all-in-one inkjets. You'll need to keep shopping, however, if you need built-in networking or fast prints.
