Pros: Compact Design, Lightweight/Portable, durable, Easy Setup, easy to use, fast print speed, Low Ink Consumption, reliable, Sharp Tones & Colors, i know that when i turn it on it will work fine
Cons: no cons for this machine
My previous photo printer, that I had for 12 years, I thought was the best ever, until I bought my MX700. I didn't really want a multifunction machine, but in looking at many different products and reading tons of reviews, I decided that this machine was the top of the line and bought it. I fell in love the first day, when I hooked it up and installed the software. Probably the easiest hook up and install job that I have ever done.
Canon outdid themselves with this machine. Very user friendly, easy to follow instructions for each use, and the photos quality come out the best that I have seen. Very efficient use of ink. I can print 75+ full sheets of 8.5 X 11"photos before I have to think about replacing an ink tank. The ink tanks are not expensive, and compared to my last printer they are about one third the price. Price for ink cartridges and amount of use from them is one of the factors that helped me make the MX700 my choice. Very quiet when printing, and doesn't shake the computer table and desk.
I didn't think that I would use the other functions but little, if at all, but I found that I had a use for every function, and each easy to use. The stand alone ability of the MX700 makes it even more useful for me. Nice to have camera memory chip ports on the MX700.
I convinced my older sister and brother what a wonderful machine this, and they have each purchased one for themselves. They bought theirs a year after I purchased mine, so they got the benefits of a later version of the same machine.
I speak very highly to friends and acquaintances about my MX700, and recommend it to them. I explain to them the advantages of having a quality piece of equipment, over a low end machine.
Thanks Canon!!

Cons: frequent black cleaning
With every after the printer has not been used for a tfew hours, the black print head must be cleaned for a proper print. This is not an issue with the colors. Bought a laser for primary printing, and only use it for scanning, fax, and color printing.
Very dissapointed.

My biggest problem with the printer is the basic design. I bought it because it had a low profile and was one of the few that fit in my cabinet with a pull out slide. However, I discovered that envelopes and legal sized paper must be fed from the back. It is really inconvenient to pull the printer out at an angle to be able to load the paper. It prints well but after about a year of use, it is really using the color ink quickly even though I mainly print in black.
The fax feature also sometimes cuts off incoming phone calls which is a real nuisance. Thus I have to leave the fax turned off.

I liked this machine when we first got it in July 2009, but then in August the fax problems started. The service people are well-mannered, knowledgeable and will stay with you until they solve the problem ask you to bring it to a shop. The next service call was in September and then in January, I had to take it to the shop. By the end of January we realized that we can only fax one sheet at a time; it cannot handle multiple sheet faxes. Luckily my wife faxes a weekly time sheet which is one sheet, but today I had a multi-page form to fax and after a lot of tries with different settings, it didn't work. Our year warranty is up. I must add-- luckily the scanner works very well, so I can scan documents in as PDFs and send them as email attachments, as long as the other party accepts the attachments. We did give canon a try. Wish we could get help but our warranty is up. I will try emailing tech support to see if there are some answers.

Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Sharp Tones & Colors, easy to use
This is the first review I have ever written as I am so happy with this printer. This is my second Canon printer in this series. I print beautifully colored colors for a food product that I manufacture. The quality is of very high standard, in fact, most people don't believe that I print my labels from home. I did my research and Canon printers use less ink than ALL other printers. Remember, it is not the cost of the printer that is the most important thing but the cost of the ink! Buy one of these printers you won't be sorry.

Honestly, I enjoyed the printer and its features until a couple days past the warranty date... ADF stopped working. Based on some research I have done, this appears to be a common issue with this model. Also, the fact that you cannot even scan if you are out of ink does not make sense.
This is very disappointing specially when you are used to quality Canon products such as the i960.

Cons: ink monitor chips
I bought this printer to replace MP760. I have tried network and and usb connection and it worked like a charm plus it is more compact compared to the MP760. It was very easy to configure with the driver software disk. Printing speed on par to the MP760. Only think I diddn't like is it has only 4 ink catriges and it does not have the automatic backside printing. Ink cosumption wise is not bad. It out lasts most printers in the market today. Over all I am very satisfied with this printer/fax/copier/scanner .

When the color ink runs out you are out of luck. You cannot print in black and white. This will cause great inconvenience especially if you only need to print one more page of a paper for school. You are out of luck.

Cons: Difficult to use
The printer/copier may be very good if you have decent knowledge of how to set it up as a network printer. Since the set up between our PC running on Windows XP and our laptop using Vista was done, other than test runs with technicians present, we cannot get a print job done from the laptop. Whenever we want to print something from the laptop, we have to go to the PC and call up the same screen as the laptop and then print from the PC.

I've had the MX700 for about 2 years now. I honestly loved this printer when I first got it and used it via USB. However, soon after I looked to take advantage of the so called network features, I've come to hate it. I'm an IT pro and over my 2 years ownership, I've installed and upgraded this printer to several different PC's, the latest Windows 7. Each time I spend about 2 hours before giving up on it and wishing I had never tried.
It should work like any other network printer does. Plug in the network cable, set the IP address, etc, on the printer, and install the driver to the PC. They are using proprietary software thats required for network use and it's absolutely horrible.
Buy it and love it if you're not interested in sharing this out to your other network pc's. Avoid it like the plague if you need network features.

Pros: reliable, durable, Low Ink Consumption, Sharp Tones & Colors, fast print speed, easy to use
Cons: only as noted in my review
This is my sixth (6th) Canon inkjet, starting back with the old BJC 600, and it's by far, the best one yet! It's fast, quiet (unlike my BJC 3000), makes great copies, fax works fine and prints beautifully, including photos (although I don't do too many of those). The only problem I've encountered is setting the fax ring count because we have voice mail and if I set the ring count too low, the fax answers instead of voice mail; if it's set too high the voice mail comes on and the fax never comes through, and I have found no solution to this problem. Otherwise, I'm "happy as a pig in mud" with the machine.

For the price, don't know if you can beat it as long as it has the features you're looking for. I constantly switch it between my Mac and a few PCs and never had a paper jam. I like that it only requires one black ink cartridge instead of the 2 used by the MP8300 and it has a smaller footprint. Great for home office. Fax works well, but I primarily use for printing b&w docs, scanning, and sometimes for printing photos. Performs all of these functions very well. Very reliable.

I love this printer. It's a full featured, well designed product. I didn't expect the quality or ease of use from such a lower priced product. The best thing about this product is the ease of use. The software that Canon provides as part of the package supports printing, scanning, faxing and copying perfectly well. Each task is done simply and without headache. I use it for a home office printer and I have never been disappointed. I am printing from this device via my home network from more than 3 computers throughout the home with a mix of Windows and Mac operating systems. Thanks for another winner Canon!

Cons: Large Footprint, Slow Print Speed, unreliable, Dull Tones & Colors, very poor print quality, grainy off-color scan quality, fax comes on when phone rings
My MX-700 never gave what I consider to be Canon quality service. From the beginning the print colors were inaccurate and dull, the scan quality was unacceptable and using the advanced scanning options didn't produce any significant improvement. The fax came on when the phone rang for regular phone calls. A definite pain. I returned the unit for a refund.
