This is a fantastic little printer. It is very small and light, and I can easily carry it around in my backpack (which is really helpful.) Setup is a little confusing and you need to be really careful when you install the print head, but when it is over, you won’t have to worry about it ever again. Text is accurate and bold, and images show no banding and are very sharp (not full page U.S. letter ones though.) When printing images on glossy paper, they look amazing, and it is done very fast. About 1 minute for a 3×5 and about 4 minutes for a 8×10. An overall great printer. It will cost you a little bit though. I think its worth it, because I need the portability.

The iP100 is named a “Mobile Photo Printer”. About that I wouldn’t know, as I did not purchase it for that purpose. I suppose that it could be used in that manner – you can even purchase what looks like a rather clunky add-on battery. However, to be honest, it seems too big to be mobile because it is not just a photo printer – it needs to be large enough to be able to handle letter sized paper. (For dedicated mobile photo printing, I use the old CP-100 which is designed only for photos and is small enough to be portable. It works directly with my Canon cameras, and it does a very good job, though I expect that the newer models are most probably even better. Of course,the iP100 has the advantage of being able to print letter sized photos.)

As a small auxiliary printer for a low-demand placement, the iP 100 is excellent. It is relatively fast – though not near the speed of a good HP Laserjet – and it prints beautifully – colors are accurate, print is clean and legible. It is also rather quiet, certainly a lot quieter than our office Laserjets. It is quite nice looking with its trays closed – the reception tray does have a tendency to drop the printed pages on the floor. Finally, it seems to be quite reliable. I am very pleased with it, but remember that I don’t use it to print mobile photos – or any photos – we have a Pixma for the non-mobile photo printing. Given how it prints, web colors, I would estimate that it would do a good job with pics, but you should find someone with more experience than I to evaluate that aspect. As should be evident, we have a number of Canon products – I have not a bad word to say about any of them. Installation is easy-easy, customer support (the one time a Canon printer malfunctioned) is excellent – we had a replacement in two days. Other companies may be better, but we stick with Canon because their stuff is simple, easy to use, reliable and inexpensive. Sorry for all the digressions.

I purchased the Canon iP100 so I could have a small, compact printer in my travel trailer. This one fills the bill perfectly. Setup was easy and it worked right out of the box. Print speed and quality is excellent. The only flaw is that it occassionally feeds multiple sheets of paper at one time. Fanning the paper before placing it in the feel tray helps rectify this.

Bought this to use while traveling, but once I set it up in an inconspicuous spot in the living room (where I spend way too much time with the laptop), I’ve been using it all the time. Haven’t printed photos, but for letters, Web page copies, even maps, quality matches my Epson printers. It’s at least as fast as any other home printer I’ve had. (But yes, it does spit out the pages from the table onto the floor; I attribute that to where I have it placed, and I don’t care. I don’t have to go upstairs to the desktop printer anymore.)

I use a Mac, which comes with Bluetooth, and bought the adaptor. So no cables, just the print command from the across the room, and I’m in business. I can access all the printer functions, including printer utilities, using Bluetooth — which I can’t with my Epson, which is networked through my Airport router.

Pricey, perhaps, but I’ve already taken this with me on a long weekend and was happy to be able to print out something I needed. I’ll definitely find room in the luggage for this one…..

UPDATE: Still have this printer, and 15 months later, still like it. One hiccup: Upgraded my iBook (Mac OS10.4x) to a MacBookPro (OS10.5x “Leopard”) and could not connect to the printer via bluetooth. In May, found a link via a Mac user forum to Canon driver updates, and I’m back in business. Until I did, was able to connect the printer to my Airport Extreme router and still use it. However, restoring bluetooth functionality made my day. Not sure whether Amazon allows links, and it’s hard to find on the Canon site. But you should look for the ip100sosmosx100us driver package. A google search will bring it up. Perhaps newer printers already have these drivers with the install software. If not, give it a try.

I found the performance excellent and the size very compact to carry about without difficulty of damage or weight reduction on travel. The price too is very competitive compared with in-shop prices.

I purchased this memory card for a new Kodak camera that records short clips in HD. Card works well with the product and there are no issues with the capacity. The short clips are high quality…very happy.

We bought this little gem to take to Europe. First impressions are very favorable. It’s small, reliable, and prints beautifully. At just over four pounds, it’s perfect for travel.

The little Bluetooth adaptor also works very well. Reading the manual (!), I discovered it is possible to mount the adapter permanently inside the printer so that it’s not exposed and doesn’t need attachment every time it is used. This is a simple procedure, and enhances the usefulness of the Bluetooth capability that is all but de rigueur when traveling. The installation / setup information is also in the electronic manual that comes on the CD.

But as good as the printer is, it does not come with (nor does Canon offer) a case of any kind. I found the perfect solution – from Case-Mate: go to http://www.case-mate.com/laptop/macbookpro15/15gblackcases2 and buy the ‘Glovez 15″‘ sleeve (like a large envelope with a velcro closure / flap). It comes in an assortment of colors and is a skin-tight (but very workable) fit in the ‘length’ direction. When inserted, the printer doesn’t take up every bit of the case in the ‘width’ direction, meaning there is just enough room to also accommodate the cord and AC brick. Throw these in, close the flap, and you’re always ready to roll.

Best part: this ‘Glovez’ sleeve is only $9.99 + $3.99 S/H, and gets to you in a few days. It’s not bulky – just what one wants to protect the printer but not take up room. (As an aside, the Case-Mate Glovez 13″ [for the MacBook 13" and Air] fits the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 perfectly).

8GB is more than enough for my Canon PowerShot. I recently went to New York City for vacation and took more than 250 plus pics with the best pixel quality the camera could provide and still had more than enough memory left. Highly recommend this product. You don’t need to carry any extra memory.

This memory card from Sandisk works just as expected. The quality of the pictures loses nothing and yet the amount of photos stored is immense!

Note: Be aware that not every digital camera has the capability to read memory cards above a certain ceiling (my Canon Powershot SD630 can only read memory cards up to 2gb), so make sure your camera is capable.

I use this memory card for my Canon Powershot G7. With the shooting function on Manual, recording pixels at M1 (2816×2112, enough quality for an 8×10 printout), compression at Superfine, I can take a max of 1915 photos or 64′50″ of video at 1024 High Resolution. At around $50, this is a good price, although I’m sure in 10 years we’ll have 1tb memory cards for the same inexpensive price and this comment will be scoffed at for being sooo from the ’00’s.

I’d recommend this product to anyone who will be traveling for an extensive time and won’t have the chance to dock to a computer and upload their pictures.

Please note that this is a Class 2 card (Class 6 is the current “top of the line”). Class 2 transfers two mega-thingies per second rather than the six mega-thingies per second for Class 6 cards.

This transfer rate is fine for most devices, but takes 3 times as long to copy files back and forth from your computer.

Please also note that older card readers are not able to handle SDHC (HC stands for “High Capacity”). Some card readers are good for only 1 GB, some go up to 2 GB or 4 GB, but only the latest generations are capable of 8 GB.

Lastly, if you are using Windows XP, you may need to either add Service Pack 3 or add a patch before the high capacity card can be recognized by your system.

I recommend adding the patch rather than SP3. Some things haven’t been working quite right since I installed the latest service pack from Microsoft – you may not wish to take that chance…
