I have both printers (along with an i950). The s820 is quite good, however I
prefer the iP4000 to either the s820 or i950. Much faster, more versatile
paper handling and imnsho the photo quality is better. I haven't found the
lack of the pc and pm cartridges to be a drawback. Being in the US I do wish
that we had the cd/dvd printing capabilities available to the European
market.

op:
Thanks for your replies. It looks like I'll get an IP4000 as soon as
funds permit.
