Hi guys (and gals),
well, as you can see from the thread title, I am currently researching which printer to get...
1) Which Pixma printer today offers the best features and 'bang for the buck' in the < 200$ price segment?
2) Are there major differences between the models cited?
- The 6700 obviously does have an LCD and allows to print directly from camera/storage media with features as image optimization etc.
- The 6700 does have a WiFi unit, so can I simply address it via my wireless router?
- Are there major differences as far as print quality is concerned, is the newer 6700 significantly better than the older models?
- Are there price differences in the consumables or the consumption of these?
- Are there any factors where the newer 6700 is not as good as the older (e.g. print speed)?
- Any other important factors to the decision I have forgotten about here?
3) Are there any major advantages to go for the more expensive models (e.g. 9900)?
I plan to use the unit for home printing of colour images of up to A4 size, B&W would be nice but I understand that is more a domain of the much more expensive models (like 9900 or similar). Speed is nice but not critical. Archival quality is nice but not critical.
Currently I think I'll go with the 6700, but I would like to understand what I get over the cheaper models. While direct print certainly is a nice feature (especially for my wife's P&S), for me it is not the most important application (but it surely would be nice to have).
So, lots of questions, and I'd love to hear from others who have more experiences with the units I mentioned 
Best regards,
Andy
