Canon USA I70 Portable Color BJ Printer 4800x1200dpi 13ppm BLK - 9ppm CLR

WHAT'S HOT: With Canon's portable i70, you can make glossy hard copies of your digital-camera shots of mountain vistas without leaving the woods--or you can make prints to give to prospective real estate buyers without leaving your car. About the size...

We didn't expect a portable printer to create stunning text, graphics, and photos--but this one did, surpassing two of Canon's desktop photo printers, the i850 and i950, in our image-quality tests. The i70 produced clean, black text and finely shaded...

Canon I70 PORTABLE COLOR BJ PRINTER 4800X1200DPI 13PPM BLK - 9PPM CLR (Canon-8107A001)

If you need to print photos while on the road, the i70 is a great buy. But portability--especially the privilege of running on batteries--costs extra.

i70 Color Bubble Jet Printer review

i70 Color Bubble Jet Printer

Fast and quiet; prints high-quality text and graphics; well-rounded software bundle; very compact; great instructions.

Unimpressive photo printouts; USB cable not included; battery and cradle costs make it expensive; high ink cost.

Canon's i70 provides the best, and most expensive, marriage of speed, design, and print quality that we've seen in a portable printer.

Canon Elura 70 First Impressions Review - Canon MiniDV Camcorders

The new Canon Elura 70 is at the high end of the new Elura line at $799.99, and has some intelligent upgrades from last year's Elura 50. The biggest improvement, which will likely improve both picture quality and low light performance, is the boost in...

Canon ELURA 70 1/4.5" CCD, approx. 1,330,000 pixels 2.5" 123K LCD 18X Optical Zoom MiniDV Camcorder

This little camcorder does a great job of everything I need it for. Its biggest downside is its performance in low-light situations. If you do a lot of recording in situations that have little or no light, you'll want to look elsewhere. However, for...

Tape Jams and Bad Customer Support

This camcorder will be an excellent piece of equipment for the first few months. It is ideal for the point-and-shoot crowd who want a few manual adjustments for the fun of it. However, if you want it to work for more than several months, you might want...

Ideal for point-and-shooters, nice ergonomics, easy intuitive interface, very nice video quality

Bad reputation for tape jams, horrendous customer support, glitches here and there, quirky zoom toggle

Canon i70

I picked this printer up mainly because of it's small size and portability. I had mobile use in mind. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality prints it put out with proper photo paper. I can do this in my car as well, printing processed photos from...

Portability, and print quality. There is supposed to be a battery available for this unit, but I have not found one anywhere. I just use a small plug in the cigarette lighter power supply.

I haven't really found any flaws, especially when you consider its size nd cost. OK, Maybe a bit slow, but all in all it makes up for that with portability.
