I was hoping someone might have one of these two printers and if so they could give me some follow up on how they worked. I can get the Pixma for 89.00 or the 6150 for 139.00. I just print for my enjoyment but I would like to get good prints, thanks in advance.

Well, in general I'd go for a dedicated photo printer over an AIO anyway -- they can concentrate on being a photo printer, and for the bit more you pay will do a better job of it (especially if you get one that uses photo-quality ink with high-quality paper).

I have the Canon 5220 it does a great job of printing pic's far better than the local walmart lab can do. The next step up from the 5220 had a great review in Digital slr photography mag a few moths ago and was raited higher than any of the other printers in this class especially when it came to photo.. Their is no difrance in a all in one or just a stand alone printer the printer specs are the same you just get the extra bonus of the scaner
