Conclusion
The Canon ES2 currently sells for $199.99. In short, it is a well-performing printer that beat out a good number of printers in its class. It's not perfect in all aspects, though; other printers have advantages in screen size, accessories and ink and paper options, but it did make up a lot in its performance and quality of prints. Having the option of color and black and white cartridges was also a plus. The software and on-unit editing was good but left little room for manual adjustments. And while the print quality has improved a bit over the ES1, it's still only best described as adequate. And although the price is going in the right direction ($199.99, down from the $249.99 of the ES1), it still doesn't represent good value for money.
