Short Life of Ink Tanks.......2007-05-27

The ink cartridges in the PIXMA MP950 dry out in a few weeks whether or not I print any pages. This makes the ongoing cost of running this printer very high.

If you want real quality.......2007-03-16

This printer has great quality scanning, photo printing and copying.
Of you don't need a fax, and just want the best quality sanning and printing you can buy, go for it.

A Great All-in-One printer.......2007-01-28

My previous printer was very old so the PIXMA MP950 is beyond words. I looked at the Canon Pro9000, Canon i9900 and the HP 8750. I chose this printer after finding out I could order something on e-bay that would allow me to print on printable CD's with any Canon printer. I haven't done this yet, though.

I am extremely pleased with the quality of the photos. I wanted a printer with excellent print quality, wanted one that could print on CD's and wanted one that would print decent text because this would be my primary printer. I also had to ask myself how often I would actually print out a photo larger than an 8 X 10. I thought I wouldn't, but I probably would have if my printer had that capability.

It had a few additional features that were a pleasant surprise. It can copy your film or slides to a jpeg file and you can use them then in making video or printing as a photo. The quality is good. I am going to try putting the negative directly onto the glass to see if the image becomes sharper. I have a 3 megapixel camera. I also discovered that if I take a nice photo I can print out the picture in 8X10 size then scan it and save it on my hard drive as 3200dpi and could then have the photo printed out really large if I wanted. The image size at 3200dpi is 6028 X 4866. That's one way of getting more megapixels out of a camera. I did try this out and print out a 4 X 6 and was happy with the print quality. It was virtually the same as the origional I printed.

I like how this printer shows when you're getting low on ink, or you can check under printer preferences under maintainance.

If you print out black and white photos you may want to look for a printer that has more definition in those shades.

I was also quite surprized by all of the options of sizes that could be printed with this printer. Proof pages, credit card size, passport size, etc.

I have been sticking with the Canon inks. They produce very vivid and bright colors. They are more expensive, but to me, worth it. Nice looking pictures was the reason I bought the printer in the first place.

I have been very satisfied with the scanner and think it has a very good quality.

When ordering this product, you will also want to order an AB USB cable. If you plan to print a lot of photos right away like I did, order an extra photo Magenta CLI-8PM. If you photos have a lot of green in them, order an extra yellow CLI-8Y. Also, you might like to order some photo paper. I love the matte and fortunatly for me it's the least expensive.

I read with other brands that the print cartridges would block if you didn't use it regularly. I've gone away on vacation so it had no use for more than a week and at times it has light use and this isn't any problem.

The printer was easy to set up. I like that the ink cartridges are separate so I can replace only the ones I use. I've this printer for 3 months now and would buy it again.

Great Purchase.......2007-01-14

This is my first all-in-one printer and I have really been pleased with its performance. I have used almost all of its features and it has worked very well. I'm not a very computer literate person, but I was able to install the printer quickly and with no problem at all. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. It's also been easy to learn to use the various features. I know some organizations didn't rate it quite as well because it does not fax, but for my purposes it worked perfectly because I didn't need that feature. The ability to scan negatives and slides is a real bonus. The photos I've printed have turned out beautifully. I would recommend this printer to anyone interested in an all-in-one (that doesn't need a fax too).

Don't buy this unreliable printer.......2006-12-28

After reading all rave reviews from PC Magazine, PC World, CNET, etc., we decided to buy the Canon MP 950. We bought in in August of 2006, and the printer was used very lightly. Well in December it failed. Canon's website suggested it was a USB cable problem. I replaced the USB cable and it still didn't work. I called Canon Tech support, and after an hour on the phone, the choices left to me were to have it repaired or get a refurbished unit. Why, after spending this much money on a printer would I want a refurbished one? I took it in to the repair center and they ordered the part. Once this was repaired, the repair center called and said that the scanner now doesn't work, and he'll have to order another part. A week later, the repair center called and said the part is on backorder and there is no telling when it would arrive. So now I'm left with only one option, to get a refurbished unit. A printer that fails under light use, limited parts on hand for repairs, and replacements with refurbished units. Why would you want to buy this printer.

Fan failed.......2003-12-28

Liked the sound and picture quality until the cooling fan failed after about a year. Now DVDs and some CDs freeze up after it gets too hot unless I keep a portable fan blowing on it during operation. Purchased it at Media Play which has since gone out of business. Having a []time finding a replacement fan. Also wish I would have invested a little more and purchased one with a multiple CD changer.

Good Home Theather but..........2003-08-29

Well, this is my second Home Theather, first one was a Sony.OK first of all is a nice and very good looking equipment, speakers come with lot of wire. Now let explain my "but" word in review tittle. This JCV comes with "Stock" Sound (average and good) and I use the word Stock because amazing or not, JVC decide to avoid any control of bass and treble. I dont know why, but I dont care any excuses, this is very important for me, obviously each CD, MP3 or even DVD comes with diferent levels of bass and treble and the only control that you have with this Home theater is subw level and delay of speakers... Good equipment overall but...!

Aux audio is not capable of Dolbly Digital.......2003-06-07

Not a bad system, but beware if you are looking to process Dolby 5.1 from a satellite system through this product. The Aux-in only passes analog Dolby Pro-Logic.

Dolby Digital sounds great from DVD source, unfortunately the engineering folks decided for whatever reason not to include an input (or two) for 5.1 outboard sources.

Sound that a College Student Can Afford.......2002-12-27

An amazing system, not only does it play DVDs with Progressive Scan but it also plays MP3s, VCDs, SVCDs, CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. Which is what any decent audio system should do. It can pick up radio signals. And the remote is rather easy to use.

The sound is great, hooking it up is a breeze. The player has a nice aesthetic to it as well. And the bass, you would not believe the beautiful bass this thing puts out. I am still awestruck by the beautiful sound such a system could put out. Sure, it's no where near the best, but for the price it's top of the line.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Viking 64MB SmartMedia Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Heavy EBAY auction lister gives "Two Thumbs Up" to this card.......2003-11-16

Between listing items at home and at a high-volume bookstore, we probably list about 300 items a week. And for that, I take sometimes 1,000s of pictures - each week! This card has been continually used for some two years now, working five days a week - with not a single problem.

Each of our images is under 350k for EBAY aauctions and I can save 292 high quality images at a time - and they always turn out well. I highly recommend this card. For our day-to-day jobs - we will only use this Viking card. It has never failed us. I use it at home. It's taken in and out of the camera many, many times, and it just keeps on working. It really is our workhorse.

BE AWARE.......2003-07-12

I went on vacation, made 81 photos with my 3020 Olympus camera and then when I wanted to transfer my photos, the card gave me a formating error. So now all my pictures are lost. Will not buy this product again!

Skeptical at first, but...a definite value!.......2003-04-03

I purchased my 64MB Viking SmartMedia card along w/my (2MP) Olympus D-510 Zoom digital camera. For the past year, I've used both products w/out problem. While I was initially skeptical of the Viking product (due to the comparably low price), I've been extremely satisfied. I've never lost pictures (or video) or had any trouble w/data transfer. It does its job. In fact, I'm so satisfied w/my experience that I've just ordered an additional 128MB Viking SmartMedia card (for additional storage on an upcoming photo-intensive vacation). While experiences w/different cameras may vary, I definitely recommend this product.

Note: For most 2MP digital photographers, I think the 64MB card is probably plenty; however, at the low prices Viking offers, I'm choosing to get an additional card as a "failsafe" (in the event that I run out of space) so that I don't ever have to lug my laptop w/me on vacation. If you're using something beyond 2MP you'd probably be better off just considering the 128MB card, though.

Excellent Memory Card at the right price.......2003-03-27

This card works well with my Olympus D380 Digital camera. Olympus only gives 8mb with their camera which would be about the equivalent of one roll of standard film. This memory card can hold 128 photos at high resolution and probably twice that at lower resolution. This would be the equivalent of 5 1/3 rolls of film undeveloped. And there is no compromise of image quality by buying this card. I'm 100% pleased with this
