 If the student in your life needs a camera or photo printer for the new school year, Canon has a helpful gift guide on the best gear for elementary, high school, and college students. Plus, four out of the nine Canon products mentioned are on sale.
In today's TechSaver Test, I'm going to find out just how much you'll save buying directly from Canon. I'll be looking at the Canon PIXMA MP620 Photo AIO Printer, the Canon PIXMA iP3600 Photo Printer, the Canon PowerShot E1, and the Canon SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printer. With the purchase of one of these products, you'll get some cool free offers!
Find out the results, after the jump.
For the College/Graduate Student:
Canon PIXMA MP620 Photo AIO Printer
(Regularly $149.99; Now $99.99)--Good Deal!
Free ground shipping
PCMag Editor Rating: 3/5 stars
The MP620 prints high-quality photos, offers wired and wireless network support, prints and scans over a network, and has a standalone copier. Canon's price of $99.99 is the cheapest you'll find for a new model; NewEgg has a recertified MP620 for $86.99 with free shipping.
For the High School Student:
Canon PIXMA iP3600 Photo Printer
(Regularly $79.99; Now $69.99)--Bad Deal!
Free ground shipping
The iP3600 features auto photo fix, borderless printing, document printing, and two-way paper feeding. Although Canon's price is pretty low, you can find the photo printer for less at B&H Photo Video with a price tag of $49.95 after a $20 instant rebate.
For the Elementary Student:
Canon PowerShot E1
(Regularly $199.99; $129.99)--Good Deal!
Free ground shipping
Get a free PSC-500 case and free 1GB SD card with your purchase! The E1 comes in blue, white, and pink and has a 10MP sensor, 4x optical zoom, face detection, and a 2.5-inch LCD display. Best of all, this is the lowest price!
Canon SELPHY ES30 Compact Photo Printer
(Regularly $149.99; Now $119.99)--Bad Deal!
Free ground shipping
The ES30 prints 4-by-6 color photos and 4-by-6 borderless photos in a claimed 55 seconds. It offers colorful frames, clip art, and effects to enhance your photos, along with a range of templates for creating personalized calendars. What you won't find here, however, is the best price. Buy.com has the ES30 for a low $79.95 with free shipping. But hurry, because there are very few left in stock.
