    Reviews Summary:
    The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon MP730 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.

    Canon's MultiPass MP730 works best for home office types who use digital cameras and have only light faxing needs. But if you don't anticipate using the flash-memory readers or you need more sophisticated fax features (or if you work on a Mac), consider another multifunction printer, such as the $140 Dell A940 or the $299 HP PSC 2210.

    Pros
    • Flash-memory card readers
    • Easy usage
    • Good bundled software
    • Automatic document feeder

    Cons
    • Somewhat expensive
    • Relatively less features
