ReviewsSummary: The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon i70 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc. Compared with Hewlett-Packard's mobile printer, the HP Deskjet 450cbi, ($350 street), the Canon i70 is less expensive and lighter. The Canon i70 portable printer is also much faster. All things considered, we'd put our money down for the Canon i70 InkJet Printer for a fast and versatile color mobile inkjet printer.
Pros
Fast and quiet
Direct printing from camera
Compact size
Cons
Unimpressive photo printing
Relatively high ink cartridge costs
Extra costs such as battery and cradle make it expensive
