Canon FC204S portable copy machine.

Looking for links to customer reviews for this item, ideally I'd like
to locate reviews by a minimum of 4 people who have purchased this
item.

If 4 or more genuine reviews by separate individuals are available on
one reputable page, that one link alone will suffice as the answer.

Speed of answer is an issue on this one; a quick answer will receive a
bonus.

Thanks for your help.

Request for Question Clarification by feilong-ga on 05 Apr 2003 12:25 PST

Hi Gan,

It's me again. I did a lot of Google searches (web, image, groups,
directory) and I can say that your request is a toughie. So far only
one search strategy came up with only one but significant result:

Computeruniverse.net GmbH, Germany
"CANON Kleinkopierer FC204s"
http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/e90058801/CANON_Kleinkopierer_FC204s.asp

At the bottom part of the page, you will find "If you are interested
in a forum of discussion for productgroup 'Copiers', then click here".
It leads to a forum discussion regarding the said product. You will
need to create an account first before you can access the forum.
Here's the link:

http://www.computeruniverse.net/community/login.asp?language=english&pm=b

Since I was only able to point you to a possible source, I chose not
to post this as an answer. I believe, it is the nearest thing you can
get to find user comments regarding the Canon FC204S.

You can find more detailed info, including techspecs of the product
through this link:

Canon UK

Search strategy:

FC204S opinion - in Google Web search
://www.google.com/search?q=FC204S+opinion&btnG=Google+Search&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&safe=off

If the forum I mentioned did not satisfy you, I'm sorry but that's all
I was able to find. Perhaps another of our colleagues maybe able to
help you.

Best regards,
Feilong

Okay - thanks Feilong. The important thing to me really is that
through the course of your searching, you didn't turn up any dreadful
horror stories about this product?

I've been searching myself too, must admit I haven't turned up
anything that would particularily warn me off buying the item.

Thanks for finding the forum link, I'll most likely check further into
that before finally purchasing.

"no news is good news" - folks are quick to post when something goes
wrong, so if after both of us have searched independently, nothing has
really turned up, I feel the time's been well spent; please feel free
to post a brief answer to claim the recompense :)

Here's what I think regarding the user-benefits of this product based
on it's description and techspecs:

Lightweight and portable - You can bring it anywhere
Built-in carrying handle - For added convenience.
Zero warm up time - Saves valuable time for the busy professional
Automatic power off after 5 minutes - Lower energy cost. saves you
money
Minimum noise levels - Allows you to concentrate more on your work
All-in-one-cartridge system - Maintenance free for added convenience.
4000 A4 copies - Cost efficient copying. 4000 pages ain't bad for a
personal copier
Manual copy density control - Means you can save more ink and control
your print quality
Free One Year On Site Warranty - One year of worry-free use.

I think it's a cool and practical device. Still, before you purchase,
take time to compare it with other products of the same class. Thanks
Gan. ;-)

Best regards,
Chard

Thanks for helping me out here within the tight time constraints I
have Feilong. Very much appreciated.
