Customer Video Review Length:: 1:35 Mins

I own an older model PIXMA iP3000 that I've been very impressed with and the MG5220 doesn't change my opinion. If anything, I am even more impressed with its design, features and performance. Out of the box it is attractively styled and has a compact footprint. Installing the software and setting up a wireless connection on my home network was a snap with both my iMac and Windows 7 laptop. The controls are intuitive and the adjustable color LCD display is gorgeous. I've yet to explore all of it's features, but without cracking open the manual I was able to photocopy, scan, print documents and print photos on photo paper. There is a brief warm-up period when turning the printer on or waking from power saving mode, but otherwise printing, copying and scanning are brisk, if not super-fast.

This printer is great, I did a lot of research and decided to try it. I have never owned a better printer. It connected to my home WiFi and every device in my house (including my iPhone and my wife's iPad) can print to it. Pages print at blazing speed, and I can load both photo paper and regular paper at the same time and it automatically selects the correct media. Photos are gorgeous and text is super black and crisp. Push a button on the printer and it makes a copy or sends a file to my PC. I tried printing from my camera's memory card and that was super easy, the color LCD leaves no doubt about which photo is printing. It is beautiful to look at, although I'm sure it will need a lot of dusting (it is glossy black).

I bought this printer because my one-year old HP quit printing photos after I upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I decided to give Canon a try. I will never buy another HP again. I liked their print quality, but they "abandon" you with driver support way...Read more

The PIXMA MG5220 wireless inkjet photo all-in-one took me about an hour to remove the packing material, install the printer head and ink cartridges, calibrate and set up in both the wired and unwired LAN Wi-Fi operation. Once I started following instructions it was easy.

I tested my word processing program, internet printing, copying and scanning and was really impressed at the quality and ease of printing. Likewise, I used the 4X6 samples of the Photo Paper Plus Gloss II Canon paper to print 3 pictures of my brother and sister recently emailed to me and was surprised at the professional quality of the photo's printed on this printer.

I have purchased numerous inkjet and laser printers over the years and none were easier to install than this product. If you are looking for a quality printer, copier and scanner that is easy to install and affordable, THIS IS IT! Enjoy.
