More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$449.00

The good:

  • Quick, quality scanning
  • Plenty of functionality well suited to offices
  • Good software

The bad:

  • Much slower print speed than promised
  • Not great for photo printing
  • No USB cable supplied

The bottomline:

The Canon PIMXA is a solid office performer with a raft of features; just don't expect top quality photograph printing.
