Canon MP730 a Multifunction
Device with Inkjet Printer, Copier, Sanner and Fax
MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail
Price) for Canon MP730: $249.99
Canon MP730 is an all-in-one multifunction device that functions as a
fast engine inkjet printer, a copier that copies in color and
black&white, a scanner and a fax that is capable of faxing both paper
and digital documents.
Canon MP730 can be a wise choice for the home offices using digital
cameras and that do not have heavy faxing needs.
One of the good features of Canon MP730 is that it comes with an
automatic document feeder. The Canon MP730 printer also has a built-in digital
camera flash card reader which is another worth to mention feature that
is rarely found in multifunction devices.

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 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.
