After reading many, sometimes conflicting reviews, I am probably going to buy this printer. Anyone here got one/have an opinion on its abilities?

I thought you might like an update - just bought the Canon, and the first print is truly amazing. I'm sure many photo printers produce similar results these days, but I really cannot tell the difference between this print and a high street produced one.
I'd definitely recommend it - nice tidy design, almost silent, and a colour 7x5 print in 40 seconds.
One very happy bunny....

Excellent as far as my eyes can tell. I only printed a holiday snap but the clarity and sharpness were fantastic. I guess a more telling test is to try something with lots of subtle colouring, but so far so good.
