"Die Druckkosten sind im Vergleich zu den
Vorgängermodellen wie S450 oder BJC-8200 Photo enorm gestiegen,
gegenüber dem S450 beispielsweise um 50% für eine S/W-Seite und um
95% für eine Farbseite. [...] Einen weit besseren Eindruck
hinterlässt die Druckqualität des S800. Farbübergänge und Hauttöne
zeichnet er gefühlvoll und natürlich. [...] Beim Fotodruck geht er
leise und zaghaft zu Werke."

"Eine direkte Schnittstelle zu Digitalkameras sucht der
Anwender trotz des hohen Preises von 900 Mark auch beim neuen Modell
vergebens. Die einzige, aber nicht zu unterschätzende Neuerung des
S800: Die A4- Fotoseite liegt in der besten Qualität nun bereits
nach 4:41 statt nach 6:20 Minuten vor.
Für ein Foto im Format 10 x 15 benötigt der S800 2:34
Minuten. Nach 150 Stunden unter UV-Licht wirkt das Foto deutlich
blasser als die Epson- und HP- Pendants. Die Druckkosten sind mit
1,96 Mark sehr hoch – günstiger fährt der Anwender, wenn er auf
Fremdpapier und -patronen ausweicht."

"Die Farben leuchteten, die Übergänge waren äußerst
fein und Raster nicht auszumachen. Auf Textdruck ist der Drucker
aber nicht ausgelegt. Hier fransten die Buchstabenränder. Die hohe
Qualität dämpft das Tempo: Die Drucke dauerten lange. [...] Die
einzeln zu wechselnden Tintentanks sind vom Druckkopf getrennt - das
macht die Handhabung leicht. Das farbige Blatt kommt auf teure 44
Pfennig."

Review: "The Lowdown: The Canon S800 Color Bubble
Jet Photo Printer spits out what are quite possibly the finest color
photographic-quality prints in the inkjet realm. For only $299, all
your digital images can snap to life on paper for as little as 13
cents per page at a glorious 2,400dpi. Although capable of running
mundane black-and-white text-printing jobs, the strength of the S800
lies in its photo-quality output, making it more of a specialized
photo printer that would supplement a good, cheap text printer."

http://www.zdnet.co.uk/pcdir/.../canon.html.
Verdict: "With speedy photo performance and great
image quality on all papers, it looks as though Canon has finally
got it right with the S800. The separate ink tanks are a bit
expensive, but should make your consumable costs more efficient."
Neoseeker.com: "Canon S800 Colour Bubble Jet Photo Printer
Review" (Hardware: Printers: Photo), by Anthony Roberts - Friday,
May 4th, 2001,
http://www.neoseeker.com/.../Reviews/canons800/index.html.
Conclusion: "The S800 is a great multi-purpose
colour printer. I say `colour printer´ because plain text quality
and speed is not up to the levels of even the most budget efficient
laser printers out there. Printouts on plain paper isn’t
photographic in quality, but we found the prints to be sufficiently
good for colour graphs and illustrations for presentations, reports,
or papers. For photo printing, the combination of Canon’s superb
Photo Paper Pro, or their other photo quality papers, and the 6 ink
Think Tank system, led to some astounding photographic prints. There
is no doubt that prints from the S800 will be well treasured for a
long time to come." (

The Imaging Resource: "Canon S800 Color Bubble Jet",
Review First Posted: 05/09/2001,
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRINT/S800/S800A.HTM.
Conclusion: "Overall, the Canon Color Bubble Jet
S800 showed excellent color rendition, exceptional resolution, and
surprisingly high print speed. We felt it easily deserved the
sobriquet "The Professional Photo Printer You'd Expect From Canon."
The "Professional" designation is easily justified in terms of
quality, while the price and media cost make it accessible for
consumers. Combine all this with a two-minute print time for
letter-size pages, and a 25-year print life rating, and we think
you'll agree that Canon has a real winner here. Highly recommended!"

Steve's DigiCams: "S800 Color Bubble Jet Photo Printer"
(Accessories Reviews), Review posted 7/14/01,
http://www.steves-digicams.com/.../canon_s800.html.
Steve's Conclusion: "The Canon S800 is a great photo
printer, it's fast and quiet and there's no denying that the
individually replaceable ink tanks are more economical than having
to replace a multi- color cartridge just because one of the colors
has run out. However you must consider that these individual ink
tanks retail for $11.99 and the cost of the average Epson 5-color
cartridge is around $25. The S800's printhead assembly can be
replaced by the user which eliminates the need to send the printer
in for service in the event of a failure or major clog. The driver
maintenance options include both a regular and a "deep" head
cleaning cycle as well as an alignment procedure to keep your
printing as perfect as possible.
The actual print quality is outstanding, especially
considering that it outputs a full page 8.5 x 11 inch print at the
highest quality possible in about five minutes. The same photo print
takes from seven and a half to eleven and a half minutes on the
Epson 780 printer. The prints are very comparable to those made on
an Epson photo printer at 720dpi or 1440dpi (microweave on and high
speed off). There is more shadow detail visible at 1440dpi or
2880dpi on the Epsons but it takes at about twice the printing time
and uses a lot more ink. [...]
Price, performance and economy, the Canon S800 Photo
Printer is an excellent value."

"Considering its quality output, the S800 is a smart
choice for those who care how photos translate from the digital
world to that of paper. And Canon U.S.A. is aggressively catering to
such enthusiasts with a device that also handles text and graphics
well, making it an all-around good buy."

"In a word, the Canon S800 is impressive. Not only
did it turn in quick print speeds but also stunning photographic
output. Its text quality is good, and it doesn't nail you with
consumables costs later. Sure, $299 might seem like a bit much to
pay for an inkjet printer, but in this case, you definitely get what
you pay for.".
