Way overpriced........2002-09-24

Very overpriced compared to exact model here in Erlangen, De ( that's here in Germany.) The photo shop here in the mall is selling them brand new for 369 Euro ( 1 euro = $.93 US.)

It is a camera for professional.......2000-07-11

I think the pro 70 is very good digital Camera,if you want to take some simple picture for your trip or party, you should select a small size, and cheaper one, because this one is a big one, and it is heavy, BTW, it need an extra flash light, no internal flash.

But if you really care about the quality of your picture and want to take some good pic, esp for the use of your web site or your company's web site, you really need it, it is the one designed as a digital camera, not changed from the regular camera, and the color is pretty good, it give you the rich color and good layer. never compare the 70mm to some 120mm or 135mm, they are useless in most of time, but the 28mm is very useful, when you take some pic of the flower or the face of a baby, it is very useful, also this camera are good for night view shoot as a professional camera, it has big lens. The LCD screen can be foled, it is usefully when you want to take self shoot. Any, I like it very much, it is very good camera for those person who like take photos, and want some high quality picture.

OUTSTANDING !.......2000-02-27

I found this camera very easy to use right out of the box. One thing I see was not mentioned was its capability of using the new IBM micro drive avaiable in 170 or 340 mb . I have the 340 mb and it will hold 928 high res pictures ! It would be great for a vacation or other high capacity needs. this drive is pricey ($ 499.00), but the capacity is worth it ! I highly recommend this camera !

Still one of the best.......1999-12-15

They all have major flaws, including the Pro 70.

Pro70 Good and Bad

Good:

1. The flip out LCD is great. Highly visiblein sunlight. Great for over the head and low to the ground shots.

2. I would not buy a digital camera that depends on a tiny built-in flash. The Pro 70 with 380EX is great!

3. Very well built. Solid feel. Ergonomics better than most. Menu system easy to navigate. Easy to operate.

4. 28mm wide angle is great. I would rather have a wide low end than a long telephoto. There are times I wish for something longer than 70mm but overall I would rather have the 28 and an excellent overall optical system. People are always crying for longer zooms of 4:1, 5:1 and greater. Optical quality has to be compromised somewhere in these long zoom ratios.

5. Dual flash card slots are great.

6. Finder is brighter and has better eye relief than many other digicams.

7. Has focus assist light and can focus under almost all conditions.

8. Fast lens compared to some others. F2.0-2.4. If you are going to spend $$$$ on a camera with a non-removable lens it should be reasonably fast.

9. Comes with a great NiMH battery and charger. Charges in one hour. Can also use a common 2CR5 lithium battery. I always keep one in my case and it has saved me more than once until I can get back to the charger.

10. Zoom is quiet and smooth. Some cameras I tried made noises that cried out "cheap mechanism!"

11. You can hold down the shutter after taking a shot and the LCD retains the image until you release the shutter. Great for quick reviews of the shot and showing your friends without switching modes to PLAYBACK and waiting for the image to load.

12. Takes great pictures!

Bad:

1. RAW images do not display full size when played back on the LCD. They show up 1/9 screen size in the middle. Useless for a rough evaluation of the image, or to show your friends what you just shot. JPEG's are always full size, however.

2. If you set aperture manually at less the f8.0 the max shutter speed is 1/180. If aperture is f8.0 or f8.0+ND4 the max shutter speed extends to 1/500. I don't understand why there has to be a 1/180 limit at lower apertures. It is annoying.

3. I wish there were an option to display on the LCD what the camera is choosing for aperture and shutter speed when in automatic mode. Even better, show it in the viewfinder. I hate not knowing what is going on. When you choose an aperture in Program mode however, you will see the shutter speed on the LCD subject to the limitations in #2 above. You would think for the prices they ask of these cameras they could provide basic exposure information in the viewfinder like SLR's have done for 25 years now!

4. Lag time is excessive, but you get used to it. Prefocusing helps quite a bit.

5. I wish the camera could focus continuously when the subject is moving. Once you prefocus, thats it. You have to take the shot or prefocus again if the subject moves. It is really tough to take pics of my 1-1/2 year old niece! She is always on the move.

6. If the 380EX is on the camera, shutter speed is set at 1/90 even if the flash is turned off. I would expect the camera to ignore the flash and use the full range of shutter speeds as long as the flash is not turned on.

7. Spare NiMH battery costs...

If I had to do it again right now I would buy the Pro 70. The Sony F505, Olympus C2500 and C2000 would be tempting but each has something major missing from my list of likes for the Pro 70. I would love to see Canon follow up the Pro 70 and address some of my dislikes.

I have lots of photos from the Pro 70 on Zing. If you would like to see them go to them in their website. On the main page of Zing type drose55 in the search box and click search. This will take you to my albums. The Camp Sunshine album is the only one that is not from the Pro 70 (they are scanned slides). Many of the others are JPEG's straight out of the camera at the highest quality setting.

Run away from the XK35c.......2003-09-11

Have had the XK35c for about two years and using it only occasionally. Printer cartridges are expensive and very hard to find. Printer part of this multifunction device works fine. After one year of very little use of the copying and scanning features, the corresponding module started failing. Ridiculous. I called XEROX and they referred to a third-party company that provides service support. This company immediately tried to replace my printer for a refurbished one...

Don't Go There.......2002-11-17

I've had this THING for about 6 months. I have yet to get it to scan anything without crashing. Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it crashes. When it does print, the quality is lousy. The printer drivers stink. I've got Windows 2000 and I keep getting errors. Because of these drivers and their quirks, I have lost all my printer set ups (and I generally have 4 or 5 printers set up at time) at least 3 times which has required my office's IT staff to rebuild them. I am not some casual computer user either. While I am not the biggest geek on the block, I'm a pretty sophisticated computer user who can get himself out of most trouble. This thing has completely defied all my efforts. Don't bother even considering it. Its not worth the trouble.

if you like . . ., poor . . . buy it........2002-11-15

This is by far the worst investment of my life. I've spent weeks trying to get it to work. USB doesn't work for windows 2000. You can't use the scanning software it gives you. The customer support is horrible. Never ever buy this product. I warned you!!

Not the greatest value.......2002-02-19

Though I have seen some positive reviews on this machine, I have a hard time believing that these people are actually using the same Xerox WorkCentre model I am . I purchased the all in one for use at my office which is made up essentially of me and 2 other employees. According to the packaging, it was supposed to print close to laser quality text. NOT EVEN BLOODY CLOSE! My black text constantly has small scratches in it or is wobbly. Now you might be thinking, just realign it or clean or change the ink cartridges. I did ALL of this on numerous occassions to no avail. The best however came when I called Xerox customer service. After waiting an eternity to get a breathing person, I explained my problem, did what the technician told me to do, and no luck. I was expecting him to tell me then to send it to them for repair or replacement (still under warrenty). Once again, I was wrong. The technician told me that if I sent it out all they would do would be to realign the cartridges (something I had already done at least 3 dozen times) and clean the print heads (again, I had already done it). Essentially he said I should grin and bear it.

Now, I had no thought that this would print with quality equal to a laser printer, but I didn't think it would produce text of less quality than my old hp 600 series printer.

The scanner has been another source of joy. It does a relatively fine job when it chooses to work. The Pagis software is great when the scanner decides to cooperate. Again, Xerox customer service essentially told me there was nothing they could do about the scanner issues. When it does work however, the scans are quite good and the ocr software included was good when I got the machine back in 1999.

Another joy that comes with this machine is trying to find the print cartridges, it is not as easy as you may think and the price, a wee bit high.

The machine did all it could for me until this January when I replaced it with an hp printer. I had in spring 2000 purchased an hp multifunction which had already replaced my xerox for scanning and copying.

On the plus side, the xerox has been generally dependable, though it is certainly tempermental. And, before anyone blames my computer, I have used the xerox with three different machines with the same problems in all cases.

I would however, never buy another product from xerox. I had expected more from the "document company." I have a certain sentimental affection for my workcentre so it will stay in the office, had Xerox customer service been in any way helpful, or at least explained to me why I was having the problems I was, or offered to replace the machine (which was still under warrenty), I am sure my opinion of the product would be a bit higher

Great printer, but newer Lexmarks may be better..........2001-12-07

Before reading this, I would check reviews on the new Lexmark all-in-one devices, since they have higher scanning and printing resolutions for the same money.
==================================
I bought this unit about a year ago (...). :-) The scanner on the first unit I picked up was actually broken, so I went back a week later and got a replacement. I'm sure this isn't a common experience...

I have been pleased overall with everything about this printer/copier/scanner. The print speed is reasonable in normal mode, but a little slow in high quality mode. If print speed is important to you, find another product. Personally, speed is not an issue - reliability and quality are all that matter.

My only COMPLAINT is the ink cartridges. I guess I didn't print very much when I first got this unit, so the cartridges got clogged up and didn't print well. I probably wasted half the ink running cleaning cycles! PRINT AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A WEEK, you'll end up saving money (and frustration) in the long run!

When the cartridges finally ran out, I saw the price of new cartridges and almost fainted (...)!!! I could have bought 2 brand new inkjet printers for the same price, so I decided to try refilling my current cartridges, hoping they would clean themselves out after even more cleaning cycles.

I bought a black/color refill kit from Jet-Master (...) that should last me as long as I own this printer. Then I experienced more cartridges headaches for a few months, and finally considered selling my printer, but miraculously, my printer started printing better than ever.

I am very glad I didn't sell this unit, because I realized that I can print near photo-quality color pictures when using high-gloss photo inkjet paper. I also realized that a lot can be done to fix inkjet cartridge problems (i.e. cleaning sponges with alcohol, cleaning ink tank with hot water, etc.)

If you don't run into cartridge problems (and will never buy new cartridges, i.e. you will refill), you will love this machine. It's very easy to use, produces good quality black and color output, and takes up less space than an individual printer and scanner.
