Sony or Canon: Should the fact that I have a new Canon printer be a consideration in my choice?

Both are excellent cameras. The Canon has been around for a little longer so it has more history. The Sony has a few more features. The Canon printer doesn't make any difference.

As far as the print quality on plain paper, I don't see any difference. I don't know about photos, and I don't know about how long they will last relative to the originals. I use mine in a printer located in a second home, from which I print things only occasionally, so I can't really compare the Canon ink cartridges on the latter two points.

Nope. There's reasons to own Canon and Nikon. Sony is pretty much an island unto themselves.

I've been going to Office Max, which sells their own brand of cartridges for this printer (they're actually repackaged and refilled Canon cartridges with an Office Max sticker over top of the Canon sticker). I also wait until Office Max sends out those 20% off grocery bags in my Sunday newspaper and stock up like crazy. I think if you buy the multipacks its cheaper too.

I am interested in what yoiu decide. I am looking at the same two scanners, primarily to scan family slides. The reviews for the Canon seem more consistently favorable. Those for Epson seem to reflect either love or hate.

Unfortunately impossible to answer. Dependent on a wide variety if factors including print quality selection, paper type and the amount of color on the page. Anecdotally I think the HP uses a bit more ink than comparable Canon product in the same use scenarios.

Ask the seller -- I bought mine at a closeout store through Amazon and it came in a new box with new ink cartridges at half the price sold by Canon. So far no problems with it and only had two paper jams using very thin paper or smaller size labels.

I would contact the Canon company . I have used them in the past and they were very helpful. Good luck, Fran

I think you question got cut short. I just bought the 620 and am very pleased. Of couse we all can find something wrong if we try hard enough. AT least for me, "so far so good". I don't know if you've done alot of research..but from the digging I did..Buy a Canon...I think Canon and Apple work togeather as to the best printer. They really work really well on Apples platform where [from what I've read] some of the other manufactures don't work as well and have issues. Just what I read from reviews! That's why I went with a Canomn printer! They work with Apple!

Amazon asked me to respond but I found the machine too be cheap and I was told to throw it out, and I got my $ back.I bought a Canon MX922 and the print quality is far superior (and no constant paper jamming)!

So I was also looking between the two and just decided to go with the Canon. Also being an amateur I figured that with the Canon brand there would be no chances that there would be glitches or issues using it with my canon camera, there is no doubt of the quality, and if I do progress in photography there is no question about being able to use it as a slave

Well, the CSR, when I called Canon, was very helpful and there was no wait time. But I wasn't aware that the print heads were easily replaced - are you sure you replaced them already, or did you just replace the cartridge? Because it does sound like a clogged head.

I am a professional photographer and I considered both before buying the Canon. I plan to use the lens regularly and for a long time and I need my images to be the best they can be. That uptick in quality is worth far more than $800, especially when spread out over years of ownership.

Visit www.canon.com and put in the model number. They have contacts who will be back with you promptly. I'll have to see for myself sometime but so far, I haven't needed to look for it.

The best that I can tell you is to check with Canon. In fact you should always check to see if your product is compatible with each other.

No worries-I have an HP monitor, as well as a canon printer. They work perfectly together.

That problem occurs with many Canons. Canon knows about the problem, but has done nothing to help people with the issue. When we e-mailed them about the error, they basically just wanted to sell us a new printer. This is part of their response, "...You are eligible for Canon's Loyalty Program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a replacement product, discounted from the list price, and with free FedEx Ground shipping. If you would like to take part in this option, please call our Sales Department..." Our printer wasn't that old, just past the one-year warranty. So, we bought and new printer, but it is not a Canon. If you visit the Canon Forum website and search for the error, you will find more frustrated customers with the same problem. Sorry.
