Canon S200

Advantages: cheap, compact, durable
Disadvantages: bit of an ink-guzzler

...I came across the Canon S200 a little over two years ago in the PC World sale when, as a student, I was looking for a cheap but reliable bit of kit to keep those coursework essays churning out (I'd rather have had an extra half hour in bed than race to college to 'bag' a printer in the IT lab...hm, not much has changed I fear). Not only did I quite fancy the price-tag (just under 30 quid), I was attracted to the S200's size - it's small enough to perch on the corner of my desk without taking up too much precious space otherwise needed for books, papers, cups of tea, elbows etc... [dimensions excluding feeder tray = 16 x 16 x 35cm approx.] The printer came with a USB cable and easy-to-install CD-Rom driver. The CD also contains an electronic manual that can be installed for later consultation (although personally I'd have preferred...

S200 - Basic Budget Printer that gets the job done

Advantages: Very cheap to buy and run, compact.
Disadvantages: Print quality not brilliant, a little flimsy.

...I purchased a Canon S200x printer as a stop-gap measure when my absolutely dreadful Epson 680 gave up for good (a definite blessing in disguise!). I have since upgraded to the brilliant Canon i560 (which I have also reviewed) but used the S200 for a few months whilst I saved up for a better one. The printer cost me less than £40 from the superb ebuyer.com - this is especially excellent when you consider that cartridges (unofficial) for the printer can be purchased for about £3 each! Sometimes budget printers like these sting you later on the cartridges but with this unit, the cost is low and stays low! Unpacking the printer, you'll notice it is fairly compact and light, and also feels rather tacky and plasticky. The printer is mostly standard beige, with the front cover in a green/grey effect. It doesn't look too bad, but not too...

Review of Canon BJC S200

The Cheapest Canon ever...

Advantages: Light, Cheap, Perfect for B&W
Disadvantages: External power, Coloured Ink

...My dad purchased this printer for me when I needed it to complete my coursework. At first I told him I needed a printer which I would mainly use to only print black and white. So the next day, he got this for me. It was the Canon S200SPx. I previously had a 100GBP Epson printer but the thing wasn?t working anymore. Something inside broke and I even when I sent it for repair, but nothing helped. ?No spare parts were able to be found? and that is what the repairman told me. I used it for about a week, but I did not fully test it. This is due to the fact that my brother came back to take the printer away for his own use in some other state. I?m left without a printer, so the next day, my dad got me a new one instead. This is then I discovered the true capabilities of this printer. This Printer is any PC Win98 or higher and Mac OS...

Review of Canon S 200x

Logitect does it again with the S200!

Advantages: Cheap, Good looking for the price, Compact, Great sound
Disadvantages: None!

...Who hasn't heard of Logitech? They have essentially become a household brand, with their ground-breaking products that offer functionality at a low cost to the consumer. Recent reviews that have praised Logitech's balance of cost and performance have covered their Webcams, Speakers, Mice and Keyboards, and a lot of other peripherals to boot. So they seem to have a hold on the market, don't they? Well, that should continue as long as Logitech continue to manufacture products such as the S200. Let's start with the aesthetics of the S200s. They come in a rather smart black and silver finish, which may look tacky but is actually very smart in the flesh. They feel solid to the touch, and very robust if dropped (I accidentaly did this but please don't!). A headphone and microphone socket are both included on one sattelite...

Review of Logitech S-200

Nikon Coolpix S200

Advantages: Functions well in daylight; looks good and is fairly compact
Disadvantages: Picture quality is middle-of-the-road; is awful in low light

...The Nikon Coolpix is a good-looking camera; that is not to be doubted. I was initially very pleased with it, but have since been a little underwhelmed. Although I think Nikon are a very good company who on the whole turn out some excellent products, I am unconvinced that the S200 is one of their best pieces of work. My main gripes are twofold. Firstly, I do not think that the picture quality is anything better than average, and there are certainly better options out on the market elsewhere - I believe Olympus cameras to be very strong in this regard. Secondly, despite the emphasis on its high ISO settings in the marketing for the product, I have been unimpressed by the camera's ability to take photographs in anything much less than broad daylight. The only way that a photo with remotely decent resolution can be taken is...

Review of Nikon Coolpix S200

Canon Quality

Advantages: Same Canon quality we have come to expect, great ISO capabilities.
Disadvantages: Buttons can get fiddly in the cold.

...times. Pricing There are many packages available with this camera, body only (£529.99), +18-55mm (£579.99), and +18-200 mm (£879.99.) These packages are well priced and the lenses included are amazing. Most people will buy the 18-55mm package, so this is the lens we will discuss. Picture Quality The 18-55mm lens included does the camera justice. With a maximum aperture of 3.5 dropping to 5.6 at the far end of the zoom is industry standard. The IS on the lens stands for image stabilizing, this really does work well and takes a lot of the shake out of handheld shooting at slower shutters. It works much better and is more accurate than Sony?s steady shot, offering unrivalled results. The filter size is 58mm which you may need to bear in mind if you already own a large selection of filters for your D...

Review of Logitech S-200

Canon or a Brother ?

Advantages: Good print Quality
Disadvantages: Cartridge prices

...This review is for the Canon Pixma IP4700. Setup --------- This printer comes inside a box which is heavily packaged and first off all you get the power cable. The cable is wrapped with this tie back but the problem is that when you unwind the cable you notice how it wants to try and curl back up again so you do need to try and straighten it out as soon as you can. You receive the disc which has the drivers on which you need to install on the computer otherwise you have no way of printing items off without it. There is nothing else inside the box besides the cartridges which are easy to insert and use. The disc is good because it is so simple to install the items onto the computer and this takes about a minute to do. You do not get a connection to the computer though so you do need to purchase one yourself and many websites...

Review of Canon PIXMA iP4700

A 'good' cheap quality printer

Advantages: Cheap price and prints nicely,affordable ink catridges
Disadvantages: error on waste tank full, prints discolored sometimes

...I'm a 'proud' owner of Canon printers. I have 3 of it: Bjc-3200, Bjc-6200 and Canon s200. I was amazed on Canon's quality prints which 1 year after purchasing bjc-3200 without having problems. i bought another bjc-6200 and s200. Canon s200 prints nicely except for some occations during continuous printing, it sometimes prints incorrectly colored images. A 2880 x 720 dpi that works good on images and documents. Technically, their design is excellent and simple when it comes to paper feeds. load paper on back tray and prints come out at the front,less complicated in removing paper jams unlike other competitors front paper loading mechanism. when it comes to 'reliability' however.. 2 years after using all 3 printers when one of which occured (BJC-6200) an error which indicates a WASTE TANK FULL (indicated by a specific number of blinking...
