For eco-conscious users, the new ECO Setting monitors paper and CO2 reductions and demonstrates the savings made by using the Auto Duplex mode. The Auto Power Off feature ensures the main power can be automatically turned off after a set time to save energy, whilst the Quick Start function allows the MG4150 to power up again quickly, for on-demand printing.

Smart Software
The new MG4150 comes with a range of software solutions for smart printing that will appeal to those looking for the very latest features.

On the positive side the reviewer finds several aspects including very good image quality, the camcorder is good in low light situations, you get a lot of storage space and manual controls is a nice addition. There are a few negative issues like high price tag, large size and there is no 1080/50p mode.
