Ok... I know this is WAY OT, but I trust this forums advise, so I was hoping a few of you could help me with, umm, a situation I am having...

My 4-year-old HP printer decided yesterday was the last day it would print, so it said farewell, and well just plain quit, or ran out of ink, I am not quite 100% sure. Eitherway, its time to upgrade.

So the demands for my new printer are as such:
I am looking for a photo printer, that is real quick for standard text documents.
I am willingly to spend up $350.00 if I think the price justifies the cost.
I would prefer it could hold 300 pages in the tray, but would settle with less.

Currently, I am looking at Canon IP5000 and IP8500, but am open to suggestions.

Finally, I have read about PICTBRIDGE for cameras, and this sounds awesome, my only question is all priinters/cameras alike or do some implement more/less features than others using the PICTBRIDGE standard.

Nevertheless, if you can provide advise or a link to where I can get some credible advise it would be much appericated.

Thanks guys,
