Compare Canon 4000-5000

[dsr]

Has anyone compared the print quality of the Canon 4000 vs. 5000? I need a new printer and love my old Canon S630. Can't make up my mind between the 4 & 5000. I've see all the test results but still don't know if you can really tell the difference in a printed photo.

Take your camera and USB cable over to a local retailer, bringing your own photo paper, and print a pic on each. Use a photo with some blue sky and some shadow areas, as they are the usual weaknessess of digital prints. The sky tends to "band" in colors instead of a smooth transition through the dark/light scale, and the better printer will have more detail in the dark shadow areas.

If you can't really tell the difference in the photo, I'd say the Canon 4000 should be your choice.
