Canon

Wont stay connected to wifi network for wireless printing, I've reconfigured it several times and works for a while then will not connect, have… Read more

checked firmware updates still not reliable. Only used for black and white document printing, it’s a cheap printer but should still be reliable. Had Canon printers before, this is the last, it's in the bin.

Worst printer I've ever had the pleasure to set up. An absolute disgrace to the Canon brand. Do not buy this printer you will be bitterly… Read more

disappointed! Set up via the web site on WiFi, print quality is very poor and blurry, did the deep nozzle clean and print head alignment could not evan print the alignment page without getting an error code of 5100 consistently. Wasted so much paper trying to fix the blurry unreadable document. Consistent paper jamming. Removed the cartridges and reinstalled them thought this might be the issue no way just more frustration. Deleted the printer from the laptop and reinstall as USB connection no difference in quality and error codes and paper jamming after 3 hours of my life gone I packed it up and taking it back for another brand.

Absolutely by far the worst thing Ive ever owned. I don't know how other people give this piece of cr#p anything more then a 1 star! No matter what I… Read more

do it just will not connect to any network. The instruction manual is completely useless and so is a quick internet search. Tells me how to set it up only to not work at all. Complete trash I wouldn't even call it a printer call it a red brick that's completely irrelevant only thing it does do is take up space. I don't even want to put this heaps of cr#p out in the street and give someone else the burden of owning something so cr#p. Canon if you produce cr#p like this then I'll never ever purchase anything with your name on it.

Pros: Very easy to fill with first lot of ink supplied with the printer. Being a MegaTank, ink will last a long time, no catridges and less refills.… Read more

Cons: Much noisier than our previous 12yo Brother Printer. Wifi connection drops out after being switched off for a while needing inconvenient reconnection. Shows that Wifi connection is not strong even though it is less than 2 meters away from the router. Seems to do a lot of thinking before it prints, and that "thinking" is, again, loud! Reasonbly sized windows showing how much ink is left in each ink tank but very hard to see the levels...at this price they should have been back lit! Conclusion: I was not to know before purchasing, but it isn't the most ideal printer. However, you do pay extra for this printer, NOT because it is a premium product....it is because CANON are recouping more money from your pocket due to the fact they aren't ripping you off for old style print cartridges anymore. So in conclusion, we just have to live with this printer as it is.

I wish I had read the reviews on this printer before I purchased it on special at Officeworks, the salesman told me it was just plugged and play that… Read more

it would connect to my iPhone automatically, which was a total lie, I try for 3 1/2 hours to connect my iPhone to this printer, and never again what I buy a Canon product, it’s just been a total waste of time and money.

SLOWER THAN A SNAIL !!!! – I have had Canon printers for 20 years but this one is making me rethink my loyalty. SLOWER than a snail, takes for ever to print anything. I have… Read more

written this review had a coffee and washed my dishes and the 1 page black and white doc has still not printed.. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING SPEED when it come to printing..AVOID AT ALL COST. Its 2 stars as the its value for money but honestly not worth the hassle.

An excellent printer for a home business or for study-works every time – I have 2 printers, a Laser printer (which I am currently arguing with!) and my Canon, TS8360- I have had this Canon printer for about 4 years now. … Read more

It gave me pause to reflect on what a great and inexpensive printer this Canon has been....works every time, ink is so easy to replace (compared to my previous printer, which I used to DREAD changing) -I love this printer! I used it a huge amount for my work- highly recommend it.

Had to go extensive trouble to get computers to recognise this. Update specific canon drivers, specifically to the actual model, and then patches and… Read more

was time consuming. Total waste of time with a poor quality machine. Had to get help remotely from relative to finally install it. Now just bought a Brother - 15 minutes to install! No problems. Never Canon again!

You get what you pay for – PROS: Easy to set up, great price, reliable printing (never had a paper jam) and the online manual is easy to navigate. CONS: Awful print quality!… Read more

I've only had this printer for about 6 months and when printing in a better quality setting, the picture comes out a mess with ink blurring. I've cleaned the nozzles and done all the maintenance recommended, but it's still awful. At standard print settings, the image is sharper, but there just isn't any "oomph" in the colours or contrast. Time to put this one on Gumtree and upgrade to something that actually PRINTS colour images properly!

It's so true: you get what you pay for.

Purchased 6mths ago and today finally worked out how to use, extremely complicated. Something as simple as changing from colour to black and white … Read more

you have to google how to do it.If you're like me and over 50 with reasonable IT skills it's not for you

Beautiful prints (updated review) – The colour print quality is great, and the printer is easy to use once you've linked it to your phone/tablet and installed the app. However, we have… Read more

only used the printer on 4 occasions (all special family events) over the past few years and now we get a constant message on the screen saying "Ink cartridge empty -install a new cartridge", even when we've just installed a brand new one. It appears that it maybe a common fault, as there a several YouTube clips for electronics handy people to fix the problem (a loose cog that is meant to pull the ink across the paper??). We are very disappointed, as we trusted the quality of Canon, and having it fixed by Canon costs more than a new printer. UPDATE - it turns out it was the cartridge set that was faulty (including the same batch numbers of brand new ones on the shelf in the camera store). The Camera House, where I had purchased this cartridge and the printer, were beyond helpful and looked after sending back the faulty ones and replacing them with new ones. The printer itself is reliable and great quality - hence the update of the review.

Absolutely and without a doubt, the worst printer I've owned. Just utter trash.

Pretty Good – I use several of these simultaneously to print large quantities. I love that it prints A3. I love that it prints borderless A4. I love that it… Read more

handles glossy 300GSM cardstock. I love that it handles sticker paper and vellum without jams. (use the rear feeder) I had some trouble keeping all 3 of them connected via wifi. I then used USB cables instead. Sometimes they would still disconnect / not recognise. I then upgraded my computer (more RAM and better CPU) and installed the proper canon software for adding printers, and added each printer with that. That has helped and the printers have not disconnected since then. I use a 4th Canon (different model) and all 4 Canons can print simultaneously with no issue. I had some issues with ink being printed on the corners of pages for a while. I did all the usual cleaning and maintenance but it did not help. I contacted Canon and they made me do some troubleshooting with them, but again the issue did not resolve. So they sent me a replacement. I love this printer a lot and recommend it frequently.

Purchased five weeks ago. The good points: Print quality in black is fine, in colour is OK. Three problems. 1) Poor connectivity. I can't get… Read more

it to connect over the LAN. Luckily, I have a suitable physical cable (from my old Epson) and used that for connecting my PC directly to the printer. Note that Canon does NOT supply such a cable with the printer. 2) The printer regularly throws error messages saying that ink is not valid, and that the cartridge needs to be changed. This is probably because I purchased some third-party ink from the supplier of the printer. The ink prints well enough but Canon obviously does not like users buying cheaper ink. 3) The third problem is a lack of enough physical space for a man with large hands to be able to remove and replace the cartridges. (Luckily, my wife has petite hands !)

Now, after five weeks, the printer will not recognise new replacement cartridges - either new third-party cartridges or new Canon cartridges, and I will be sending it back to the supplier tomorrow

I recommend that you do not buy this model from Canon, and you think twice about buying any make of printer from them.

Excellent scanner for hard copy photos. Highly recommended! great value Just bought this today, loaded software, placed a photo on the scanner and pressed auto scan and bingo! Perfect image saved to documents!

Incredible camera – Was looking for a reasonably priced but high quality camera for vlogging and to capture great photos of my family. The quality that is produced by… Read more

this camera is amazing and the sound with the vlogging comes through crystal clear. So many features and settings to play around with that I’m still yet to test but can only enhance the detail

Worst Printer Ever – This is the worst printer I have ever owned. I have installed, deleted, re-installed several times and cannot get the printer to print. When it does,… Read more

it only prints sections of the pages and takes about 15 minutes to print one page. Absolute devastating when you need a printer for work at home and spend such a long time trying to pick a good one, only to spend $470 on something that doesn't work. Waste of money - if I could give it 0 stars I would.

We were recently in the market for a new digital camera. My wife is a coloured pencil artist who want's to get high quality reference photos of birds… Read more

and wildlife for her art. Over the years, we've had a plethora of film cameras, digitals and bridge cameras that were good but not top quality. Even the excellent camera in the modern phone could not compare to a modern digital camera for picture quality. A friend loaned to us their Nikon P950 bridge camera to try out. It was a nice camera to use with pretty good picture quality but it had some minor limitations and lower picture quality than we really needed. When we were seriously looking at a new camera to buy for wildlife photography, it came down to a toss up between the Nikon P1100 bridge camera and the Canon EOS R50 mirrorless DSLR. After careful consideration, we chose the Canon. The choice was determined by two factors. #1. The Nikon had a smaller sensor with lower picture quality, has less low light capability, is heavy and was also not immediately available at any local stores and, #2. The Canon was cheaper, has a bigger sensor for better picture quality and is much, much lighter and we could have it right away. The Nikon has 16MP sensor and an impressive 125x optical zoom, equivalent to 24-3000mm and ease of use with no lens changes to worry about. However, the Nikon has a lot of glass and mechanical stuff in that lens casing and is heavy at 1.5kg. That's a lot of weight to carry all the time. The Canon on the other hand has 24MP sensor, it is much lighter than the Nikon. The body alone weighs only 380g and only 529g with the 18-45mm lens attached. It has a bigger APS-C sensor which is over 11x larger than the sensor in the P1100 and with much better low light capability than the Nikon. The Canon came as a 2 lens bundle with 18-45mm (152g) and 55-210mm (310g) lenses. For super long distance shots, I purchased an f11 600mm (940g) prime lens to go with it. Having the interchangeable lenses is a bit of a pfaff when you want to change focal length quickly but it also means that the camera is not heavy all the time. The EOS R50 with the 'huge' 600mm prime weighs 1.3kg vs 1.5kg for the Nikon. With the Canon, we need a carry bag with enough storage space for the camera body and the lenses. This makes the bag a bit bulky. The Nikon is much more compact and has a much smaller bag. I can't comment on the Nikon performance because we haven't used it, so I shan't; but after owning the Canon for a few months now, we have explored most of the many features and functions. Having owned a few "instamatic" and bridge cameras before, this one leaves the others in it's wake. It's by no means the 'Rolls Royce' of cameras, in fact it is a Canon 'entry level' camera. It is a mirrorless camera meaning that unlike an SLR camera, there's no mechanical gizmo to flip a mirror out of the way each time you press the shutter button. This makes it less complicated and lighter too with a longer life due to less mechanical gubbins' to wear out or go wrong. The view finder image is an LCD image from the sensor and not an optical path through the lens but it is still excellent. THE GOOD STUFF: This camera with all it's functions and quality is IMHO best bang-for-buck. It's perfect for a beginner or budget conscious person but with most of the features the more professional cameras have to offer rolled up in a compact package. It has some other nifty feature too, like the wireless connection to your phone or computer to download images. You can also control the camera hands-free from your phone. The image quality is very good and the lenses are easy to change. There is a viewfinder and a fully articulated 'touch screen' LCD display. There is a built-in flash and a 'hot foot' too. I have tried the time lapse function to video the summer storms rolling in and they look amazing. The camera has many cool functions to play with. You can leave it as a point-and-shoot camera set in "auto" mode, or fiddle around with ISO, F stop, shutter speeds and other settings to your heart's content to get the optimal shot. Being a newbie to the world of photography I am impressed with the abilities it gives me. Battery life is better than expected too. THE NOT-SO-GOOD STUFF: My only complaint about this camera is the button layout. All the buttons to change modes and do other functions are located on the right hand side (handle) of the body around where your right hand goes. This is convenient for operation but it means that they are susceptible to accidental pushing of the buttons just by holding the camera. It's just a minor 'first world' problem and something to get used to I guess. The EOS R50, like most DSLR cameras is susceptible to weather. There is no weather sealing so be careful to not get it wet. LENSES: Our camera came as a bundle with two lenses included. The lens hoods are not included but are available separately. The 18-45mm is perfect for family snaps, general photography and close-up's. The 55-210mm is best for sports and wildlife photography. The lenses are of the (12 contact) RF-S family and the RF mount is not compatible with the older (8 contact) EF lenses. However, there is an accessory adaptor ring available to allow EF lenses to be used on the RF mount. So, if you've got an old Canon, you can use the old lenses on the new camera but you need to purchase the adaptor. There is a wide variety of lenses from canon and other manufacturers like Sigma and Tamron available for this camera that can suite all needs. The EOS R50 camera body does not have image stabilisation. However, the RF-S (S for Stabilisation) lenses do carry that feature. CONCLUSION: I'm very pleased and impressed with our Canon. If you want a good all round but budget camera with all the bells and whistles, you can't go past the Canon EOS R50. It has all the tricks and trappings of expensive cameras at a fraction of the cost. It's light and compact and perfect for beginners and anyone wanting a good quality DSLR without spending a fortune.

X next to it. Tonight, I decided to instal a different printing app from the play store....it picked up my printer immediately. Why has the Canon app been unable to do so ? I'm giving canon three stars, only because they were quick to respond with possible solutions, even though it did not resolve the problem. I will be thinking hard before responding to their survey.

OK – This is a fine photocopier when it is working and I find the one up the other end of the level does not jam as often as the one near me, particulary… Read more

when photocopying double sided. We have two of these photocopiers on our level at work. Aside from your basic photocopying, I have found that it can scan and email images to your computer, photocopy onto letterheads, staple pages, and print from your compueter. Staff printing to it is frustrating when you are trying to photocopy documents. The person printing takes preference which sometimes completely ruins the order of your photocopying. In an office environment this option should not be allowed and staff made to print to the many laser printers we have. One of them constantly jams you end up going on a little treasure hunt to clear it because the screen gives inaccurate information about where the jam is. Then if you try and do the same photocopy, chances are it will jam in the exact same place again.
