Was looking for a decent inkjet multifunction, best price I could find for this one. Original $25 off code post
You can also get the EPSON 273XL 5 cartridge Value Pack + an extra standard EPSON 273 Black in a separate transaction for $90.73 delivered, or $82.78 click and collect (limited stores with stock though)

Ok I did some searching:

Seems like there's a typo on Canon's website "In Detail" , the printer resolution is actually 4800 x 600 and not 4800 x 1200 dpi.
This can be seen on both the description and "At a Glance" tabs, it's also in the printer's downloadable PDF brochure
I won't be able to offer a feature-by-feature comparison but this is in a different league and has much more advanced features such as.
It also uses a 5 cartridge Claria ink system which produces superior photos that is smudge, water, and fade-resistant. Also more economical on the long term.
So it really depends on what you are looking for in a printer.
