You'll be amazed at the results.OK, what about speed? This no-compromise printer is surprisingly fast, capable of printing up to 18 ppm in black and up to 13 ppm in color. Photo projects whiz by too: it can produce a 4" x 6" borderless photo in approximately 58 seconds.Easy-WebPrint software gives users the tools to properly print Web pages in full color without losing any information. Easy-PhotoPrint delivers professional looking digital photos with improved image processing and color fidelity. Together, these applications can give you the great results you expect.

Amazon.com Product Description

High speed, sharp resolution, and economical ink refills: Could you ask for more in a home printer? The Canon PIXMA ip1500 is designed with over 1,000 nozzles that produce tiny 2-picoliter droplets, resulting in finely detailed images that are worthy of saving in your family album. Pigment-based inks insure colors will stay true, and the prints are resistant to water, fading, and smudges.

With resolutions up to 600 x 600 dpi black and 4,800 x 1,200 dpi color, your office documents or school reports will look as beautiful as your photos. Top speeds of 18 ppm black and 13 ppm color (draft mode) will have your pages in hand in just a few seconds; a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo can take as little as 58 seconds--quick enough to hand out party photos as your guests walk out the door. (All reported speeds are maximums. Actual speeds will vary.)

Easy-PhotoPrint v3.0
While most photo-editing software applications will brighten the entire image, Easy-PhotoPrint 3.0 accurately detects the subject's face and adjusts the skin to the optimum tone. Brighten dark faces caused by bright backgrounds. Choose from one-click automatic to correct the entire image all at once, or manual to correct just a selected area.

Before
After

Exif Print Technology
Exif 2.2 is the worldwide printer independent standard for digital image processing. Under Exif 2.2, the digital still camera can record data tags for specific camera settings and functions such as whether the flash was on or off, if the camera was in landscape, portrait or night scene mode, etc. Referencing some or all of this information, an Exif Print compatible application can process digital camera images intelligently based on specific camera settings and the shooting environment.

The ip1500 is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems, and requires only a USB cable to get it up and running (cable not included). With a depth of just over 8 inches, you can tuck this little powerhouse just about anywhere--even in your dorm room. Canon provides a one-year warranty covering parts and service.

Just Keeps on Ticking!.......2007-09-11

I have the Pixma ip1500 at work and at home. I have no problems with it ever! I am an appraiser and crank out appraisals all day long on it. It never fails me. The biggest plus is the ink cost is so reasonable. $7 for a black cartridge and $18 for color. I have found even better deals on auction sites for the genuine Canon ink. Can't go wrong with this printer!!!!

never worked right.......2007-02-26

Prints sideways and squiggly. Couldnt fix it no matter what I did. Barely used it before it started messing up.

A Sorry Excuse For A Printer.......2006-12-07

Canon really laid an egg when they flew this turkey to the market. When you click on that print button, go have a cup of coffee, take a nap, watch TV for awhile. Your print job *may* have printed by the time you return, but probably not, because 1)the Pixma can't find the paper in the feed tray (it's there), 2)the colored ink tank is low (it's not), 3) the black ink tank is low (it wasn't) 4)the paper is jammed (how can it be, when Pixma can't find the paper in the tray?). Hit 'print' again, and it *might* eventually print your report, but more likely it won't because the ink tanks have dried up waiting for you to clear all the other errors. What a piece of junk! Absolutely positively the worst printer I have ever owned or used, bar none, and I've worked with many. There's a hundred different software utilities and options to figure out, none of them help with anything at all, and they just add to the level of frustration. Instead of giving us all this useless software, just give us a printer that prints, Canon!

Absolutely Positively the WORSE Printer I have ever owned.......2006-04-11

Absolutely Positively the WORSE Printer I have ever owned. I have a feeling these other reviewers...no offense...havent owned and operated the printer long enough to make a valid appraisal. I have been using it (when it works) for 6 months and it sucks. I use it for trivial printing at this point...just to use up the ink ive invested in. After that....its in the trash. If anyone wants it...they can have it for the cost of shipping. I'll put it on amazons used sale list.

SEEMS TO WORK PRETTY GOOD.......2006-02-08

I bought this printer based on the reviews given below. I was trying to find a printer that was good quality and used lower cost ink cartridges. So it has been pretty good. I have used it since july of 2005 and it has performed well. Ink cartridges are much cheaper than my former HP photosmart printer p1000 i think that's what it was called. The only thing is i wished this printer had a paper exit tray. But anyway it has been very dependable and i like it. I would buy another one. gg

The Best of The Best!!!..........2003-11-18

An old RCA Engineer... Any APC product has always far exceeded my expectations. I just ordered one of these, and I thought I would pass along that this is the best surge protector APC offers with only 40v "let through" (most "good ones" are rated at 300V), also this one will "kill itself" if necessary to protect your equipment. Other protectors will loose their protection circuitry and keep your equipment connected. I have many stories from personal experience giving kudos to this company's products, but I gotta go.

Product Description

Rich-Field 4.5 Inch Newtonian Reflector Telescope. Possibly the best reflector telescope value available today, this 4.5" scope boasts a short 500mm focal length. As a result, this scope packs a super-fast F/4.4 F-ratio, making it an extremely powerful instrument for wide-field and deep space astronomy. With its tremendous light-gathering power, you can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep space Messier objects in dark skies. You can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon you'll spot the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Included is an adjustable full-sized aluminum tripod with a built-in accessory tray. This scope has an Equatorial Mount, so it can be polar aligned to track the movements of stars parade across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope with a smooth, steady motion. An optional right-ascension motor drive is available. Two medium power 1.25" diameter Plossl eyepieces (25mm & 10mm) and a Barlow 2x lens are included. Additional 1.25" eyepieces are available. Also included is a dust-free cleaning cloth, a map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare, and a poster of the solar system. The primary mirror is collimated (aligned) at the factory, but the scope does not include collimation aides, tools or instructions. All reflector telescopes show an inverted image, so purchase an optional erector eyepiece for daytime terrestrial viewing. Because the included paper instructions offer limited guidance, we provide buyers with an online full-color photograph, step-by-step assembly guide so you'll be up and running without having to struggle with a complex assembly diagram.

bass shy.......2007-07-15

Sounds OK, but very shy on bass. I called Cambridge and they even stated this speaker needs a sub to sound great. Installed in my living room and it sort of sounds like a table radio is on, which is a bummer when you realize that I'm pumping around 75 watts per channel into it with bass on full blast.

Amazon.com Product Description

Quite simply, the Canon PowerShot G2 is an elegant, easy-to-use joy of a digital camera that boasts impressive 4-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom, a bright LCD monitor that swivels off to the side of the camera and tilts up and down as needed, and maximum overall creative control in addition to a fully automatic mode. Of course, none of this comes as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with its popular predecessor, the PowerShot G1. Both of these cameras have features and picture-taking modes similar to Canon's EOS cameras, which means they have what Canon calls a "very camera-like feel." Some of the G2's more obvious improvements over the G1 (besides higher resolution) include a champagne gold finish, larger grip for easier handling, improved image and color quality, new photo-effect shooting mode for various effects, including black-and-white and sepia, and a new high-speed selectable three-point autofocus.

The G2's 4-megapixel CCD captures images at user-selectable resolutions of 2,272 x 1,704, 1,600 x 1,200, 1,024 x 768, and 640 x 480. This range allows for detail-rich 8-by-10-inch prints that match the results of film cameras as well as easy-to-upload images for the Web and e-mail. Choose between three varying degrees of JPEG compression or store images in the 10-bit RAW data file format for faster transfer without any image quality loss. Your computer easily translates the RAW files into TIFF files using Canon's included software.

The telescoping, 3x optical zoom lens (34-102mm equivalent on a 35mm camera) with 3.6x digital zoom, offers both automatic and manual focus control. The improved, high-speed, selectable three-point autofocus system allows flexibility in composition over the single focus point of the G1. A distance scale has been added on the LCD monitor for precision focus adjustment that works best for extreme close-ups. Improved circuitry allows the G2 to perform these advanced functions with faster image capture times and longer battery life than the G1.

Like the G1, the G2 has point-and-shoot settings that take the guesswork out of almost all situations, but the manual controls and creative options are where this camera stands out from the competition. Twelve EOS-style shooting modes allow for a wide range of creative possibilities, with manual focus zoom, adjustable aperture priority at 50, 100, 200, and 400 ISO, selectable shutter speed, and six preset white balances--sunny, cloudy, tungsten, etc. Canon has provided four presets for professional results when shooting for maximum depth of field, portraits, landscapes, and night scenes. Other creative controls include the photo-effect mode that allows four possible variations of the normal color saturation: vivid color, standard color, sepia tones, and standard black-and-white.

Two video formats have also been included, allowing for 30 and 120 seconds of moving images with audio. Slow shutter-speed mode allows extended exposures in low-light situations. Autoexposure bracketing allows you to intentionally over- and underexpose two extra shots to help capture the best picture possible. Five different flash modes, including red-eye reduction, handle after-dark challenges. The TTL hot shoe is fully compatible with all Canon EX-series Speedlite flashes. The included software package goes beyond standard image processing with a remote capture function that allows complete control and manipulation of the camera functions from your computer keyboard. Canon's Stitch Assist program allows you to combine up to four images into one, seamless, panoramic view.

Exterior design features include the highly versatile LCD monitor from the G1 that needs no improvement; its 270-degree rotation allows all angles of image composition from around corners to self-portraits. Changes in ergonomics, as requested by the users of the G1, include a contoured grip for better one-handed shooting and a more streamlined look. Photographers new to the digital market will find the G2 as easy to use as previous PowerShot models, while professionals will be pleased with the improved selection of creative options for capturing the best possible images.

The G2 comes complete with USB port and cable for connection to PC or Macintosh computers; Canon's digital camera software package for downloading, processing, and organizing your images; a NTSC cable for connecting to a television set; a rechargeable BP-511 lithium-ion battery pack and AC adapter for charging the battery in the camera; a generous 32 MB CompactFlash card; infrared remote control; lens cap; and neck strap. The camera weighs about 14.8 ounces, and its dimensions are 4.8(W) by 3.0(H) by 2.5(D) inches.

The best digital camera at a great price!!!.......2007-03-08

I've had my Canon G2 for four years and it still takes simply Gorgeous pictures. People ask me if my pictures on the wall was from a studio. I tell them I shot them with my Canon. Crisp and super clear pictures. Easy to use. The best find!! Love it!!!!! Even when you enlarge to 10x15. The clarity is still perfect...

This is a very sturdy, semi-pro - Excellent Camera........2006-03-26

This is the kind of camera that is a joy to use and explore. I have been using this along with a Digital SLR for about 3-4 years now and it still works great. I must have shot over 10000 shots using this camera with most shots being exceptional. The lens is fantastic, build is rugged, battery life is exceptional. This is a classic camera worth keeping for many years. For an avid photographer, the Powershot 'G' series is a good camera to have along with an SLR.

A masterpiece of a digital camera.......2006-02-17

I've had this camera since April 2003, and it has been one of the best electronics purchases that I have made. I've taken about 5,000 shots with this camera to date, and the image quality with all of them is outstanding, even by today's standards.

This camera is capable of producing images up to 11x14 inches without noticeable image grainyness. The F2.0 lens is superb and produces super sharp images. The features are fantastic. The panorama mode is something I use a lot more that I thought I would and produces stunning, seamless panoramas which could easily pass as gallery prints.

If you can still find this camera, purchase it! You will not be sorry.

G2 in simple words.......2005-09-20

The G2 is a special camera. I bought it after 3 months of research in December 2002. It was a time when Canon had fixed all previous issues with the G1 and was improving on G2 to release the G3. I wanted a digital camera that can be used as a point and shoot one and also some advanced features for me to do some pro kind of photography and guess what I concluded and bought... the G2 After having it for more than 2 years, I think I can write a reasonable review of it. It is a simple advanced camera !!! Sounds like an oxymoron, but it really is that. It is simple enough that an average Point and shoot person can use it and advanced enough that a pro can do some good shots with it. It has enough options in the preset modes to give a quick nice picture in each of those modes and also has a set of manual features for more creativity. The pictures are clean, crisp and nice. It has the largest lens compared to any camera in that segment. The software that comes along with the box is good value for money & sophisticated. I do not have to list the long line of features that this camera gives for such a small price
Some of the negative things I find in this camera are
1. Is heavy and is a little oversize to be carried in the pocket
2. The operations like switch on, switch off, writing image to disk and few other actions are a little slow.
3. The flash recharge is also slow.
If you are a beginner or just want a simple easy to use point and shoot camera, don't buy it. If you are pro and want an advanced camera for professional shots, don't buy it. If you are inbetween, then this camera is for YOU.

Otherwise, is a great camera, love it and I think I have already taken my investment out of the camera, but looks like this just the beginning !!!

Great all around camera.......2005-04-02

This was our first digital camera. Very easy to use, useful features, and high quality photos. Definitely a good deal.
