Hi , im new here, my name is Vanessa, im from Quebec, Canada, i presently own a canon xsi and have owned it for atleadst 5 years, im ready for change , i mostly take pictures of my horses, i breed Canadian horses, and my children and nature ... Now my question is, what should i be looking for , ? I own a few lens from my xsi , i want something that can take pictures of my black horses in mouvement , grey skies are the usual here especially in winter, so a camera that will give me those crisp details and defenition of a black horse, plus those familie moments..... I dont want to pay too much, 2000$ for example ..

Thankyou very much

I posted the review in early September.  It is buried somewhere way more than 100 reviews in.  Look for a picture of my new desk, though.  The shot made it to their home page.IMG_0800.png

I am on my forth large format Pro-xxxx (whatever) Canon printer.  I have the 9000, 9500 II, and two Pro-100's.  I just wondered what you thought of them.  But I don't want to do a lot of searching.

I have loaded up on paper, several thousand sheets of all sizes and types.  Buying on sale is fantastic. Another outstanding paper company is Red River.  They have profiles for all their papers for the Pro-100.  I particularly like their metal and canvas paper.

Everyone on this site knows I am not a big DPP fan.  But the latest version of Print Studio Pro is pretty good. I am liking it more all the time.  Even though I am a dedicate PS user and not a add-in type.  I urge you to try it.  It is Win 10 compatible now, too.

 

Before getting the first Pro-9000, I was first an Epson and later a HP owner.  I still have and use the HP Photosmart printer.

I love the Pro-100.  I have intermittent communication issues with it that may be more the fault of my wireless LAN's security, than it is an issue with the printer, though.  I cannot seem to wake it up from my laptop unless I connect [the laptop] to the network using a LAN cable, not wirelessly.  I need to run more tests with the printer on a LAN cable, instead of wireless as it is now.

I bought the printer outright, not part of a package with a camera.  I didn't pay attention to how big and heavy the thing actually is.  It weights in at over 40 pounds, and needs a 30" x 30" footprint if you use the rear most paper slot.
