I have a Canon Poweshot S400 and a Sony Cybershot DSC F707. I've been using my HP 932 printer and the photos are ok but it's extremely slow. For special photos or large formats I use a photo shop. I want to buy a Photo printer. So far, I looked at the Epson 2200, RX500, R300M and Canon i860, i900, i960, i9100 and the HP 7750, 7960. All I've done is confuse myself. I just want the best printer for my money. :?
The truth is, most printers today output excellent quality - so that's not a real issue. Instead, issues like speed and the type of ink cartridges play more of a role. Myself, I chose a Canon i950D. The current version of this printer is the i960:
I was an Epson fan for a long time, but once I started doing some research, I really like what Canon had to offer. The i950 I have is very, very fast. And the print quality is very high - prints look amazing, almost indistinguishable from a print I did from Costco. I also like the individual ink cartridges.
So if you're looking for a recommendation, go for a Canon. :way to go:

I couldn't agree more. I just moved from Epson to a i960 and the photos that come off are just amazing for a sub $200 printer. The 4x6 tray makes my life so easy because I don't have to remove the 8.5x11 to print photos. The review that made up my mind is below.
I bought a i850 last August to print out pictures taken with our G3. We have been very happy with the print quality and speed. My wife does most of the printing and Canon's included software was very, very easy for her to learn.
The individual ink tanks were also a big selling point for us. I would estimate we got over 100 prints out of the tanks (mostly 4x6 with some 5x7 and 8.5x11 pictures also).
The only other thing you may want to consider is if you want to print bigger than 8.5x11 than consider the i9900 or other large format
I have seen the HP 245 in action and it is a sexy little unit. If you are looking for something small and inexpensive ($200 or less), this might be for you. The print quality is excellent, it is quite fast and it has slots for almost all modern memory (i.e. CF I/II, SD, xD, MS, etc.)
Probably to late to chime in, but I've been using the Epson Stylus Photo 925 and the output quality is very good. Canon printers are faster but I have always found the contrast to be weak compared to the Epson and HP photo printers. Purely subjective though. Good luck with whatever you chose.

I used to be an Epson man, until I saw the i960 in action.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't give my left arm for an Epson Stylus Photo 2200. :rock on dude!:
Ill go against the grain here. At a quarter a print online photo printing will cost you less and a nice compact/fast inkjet or laser will prove to be better for documents and such :wink:

And I can buy a 35mm color camera for $35 rather then paying $350 for the digital camera I have. For me it's about convenience and frankly what I print myself is usually as good or better then when I let someone else print them.
I need a photo printer, what do you suggest?
