I notice this is available in England- prints
a 4X6 in 21 secs!
Anyone know when it will hit our shores?
Thanks.

It's called the i960 here. It's missing the CD-printing tray.
 
then why does the i960 claim 37 secs for a 4x6 print
and the i965 claim 21?

Also funny is how the resolution specs are different.

But I'm pretty sure it's the same printer. But Canon UK/Europe may of done
some tweaks on the printer.
 
the resolution specs are the same, read them carefully--probably worded
differently to avoid nuisance false advertising claims.

ps
 
do you have the link to the canon i965

Because someone is lying
Similar like in my Canon digital camera S1 IS - they say you can shoot up
to 1 hour of movie (on 1G card) of DV quality. Now, you can shoot up to 1
hour. True. And you can shoot (near) DV quality (640x480 at 30 fps). Also
true. BUT!!! You can shoot 1 hour at lowest resolution - which is 320x240 at
15 fps--- ****ing lyers! At highest max shoot time is 9 minutes. (at this
time filesize gets 1G long).

Canon UK says:

Up to 4800 x 2400 dpi print resolution

Canon US says:

Maximum 4800 x 1200 dpi with microscopic 2 picoliter droplets

So there's a 1200dpi discrepancy. I wonder why there is a difference.

Maybe we should all use the European/International driver for our i960s :D

Uhh:

The PowerShot S1 IS has a greatly enhanced Movie Mode that lets you
shoot up to sixty minutes* of DV-Quality VGA video with superior
sound quality.

Notice the asterisk?

*Depends upon CF card size, speed and movie mode.

I think it was pretty clear.

Yep, but still a lie. It can't shoot one hour even with 100 G card
(haha...), And that's because this camera can't save bigger file than 1G.
So, you must start a new clip every 9 minutes. So, it's NOT one hour DV
quality, but x times 9 minutes.
 
i950 in Europe is replaced by the faster i965.

in USA, the i950 Europe = i960 USA

in Japan i950 Europe = Pixus 860i Japan, and i965 Europe = Pixus 960i

Maybe the UK spec involves interpolation factor.

Oh really... that dry.

Does your camera support FAT32?

But what is the Pont when they only last for 2 Years, All bubble jets use
Water based inks..

Epson the Only way to go.

Not anymore. Canon has a black Pigment ink.

And even regular BJ prints last longer than 2 years according to some
posters.

Yep. That's why i could insert microdrive with 1G or more, but as i said, x
times 9 minutes...
 
Yes, that is the UK spec. But you neglected to reference the footnote:

Resolution
¹ Maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi used at the bottom edge of the
page



Starts to look a lot like the US Spec... Have to read these things
CAREFULLY.
 
Still wanting to know why the descrepancy in
speed. And is the i990 significantly different
(except for the number of ink tanks.)?
Thanks.
