I got one of those, as wwell as the iP5300, as well as the iP5000. Been using the 6700D lots lately...love the quality. Not fussed about direct card to print facilities, or the lcd in fact, but lovely quality.

INKS - very expensive though. I use compatibles, and have to change the microchip on them each time I run out...but I'm happy.

When you buy printer it comes with the ink doesn't it? How many a4 pics can you print roughly before the ink needs changing and how much is the ink ?

cheers

Yes it does come with ink.....it depends on what you are printing and what is the predominat colour. I've printed about 80 photos onto A4 so far and am on my 4th magenta if that helps.
