As a long time Canon PIXMA user, I just replaced my PIXMA MG 5320 with an Epson XP7100 Expression Premium 5-tank printer ($299). Really like the Epson, has a touch screen that is easy to use and while it has ink tanks, you can get the extra large capacity ink tanks which reportedly doubles the quantity of printing.
I would have stayed with Canon but I purchased a new Mac desktop computer and canon had no upgrades to the software for their printers and my new computer would not recognize the printer because it was no longer compatible.
This seems to be an issue between Apple and Canon.
Anyway...very happy with my choice of Epson.
Good luck in your research.....

Need recommendations — replaced my 2011 Mac desktop computer with 2019 Mac that I just set up 3 weeks ago. All went well until I hooked up my 2012 Canon PIXMA 5320 printer. I’ve been told that my printer is not compatible with the new BIG SUR Mac operating system so... I need to buy a new printer. I’ve always used Canon but am looking around for others as well and sure could use some expert recommendations. I would prefer to stay under $200 but am open to options.
I do a lot of cropping and editing of photos and then print. Quality of photo a must. I also do spreadsheets with color and other odds and ends. But a lot of photos.
My daughter loves her Epson 3710 with the super size tanks, but she rarely does photos on it. I like the realibility of my previous Canon printers too. But just need to know what others use to print great photos.
I looked at previous threads for printers in this group but most all posts were from 2012 to 2015, so these won’t help with 2021 products.
‘Much thanks....

Considering saving photos over to Mac’s Time Machine external drive.....can it be set up to only move photos over. Don’t need to save everything on my Mac to external drive. Just important stuff and I want to control that as well. Automatic saving everything to external drive is not necessary. I want photos and important spreadsheet data bases saved only. Is that possible? Or should I consider a different external back up drive that I can manage as needed?

Thanks,

Judy

Ok...read all the responses, but this is soon to be 2021, most posts are several years old. So, in present day, is there an external drive that collects photos from multiple devices?
I have Windows Vista (Where most of my photos of old are), windows 10 (my hubby’s computer), Mac iPhoto’s on my desktop (ordered new one scheduled for delivery in mid-January), then there’s my iPad Pro with thousands of photos and my iPhone with large volume of photos.
Is there a single external drive I can connect to each of these devices to conveniently store all my digital photos on to one device? Easy, without a lot of tech knowledge needed... or do I live in a fantasy world thinking this can happen?

Jederick..thank you!
I’m curious...what would be a reason that these higher priced cameras would be in the “used” category?
Is it safe to assume they were merely traded in for an upgrade? Or could other reasons apply.
How safe is it to spend big bucks on used equipment vs. a few more bucks for the safety of new and the warranties that come with them?

I also am interested in the Sony RX IV or perhaps the III. I have always been a Sony user and currently have the Sony DSC-HX50V that I am totally disappointed with as I have missed some great photos of my active grandchildren due to focusing issues, probably some of which is my fault. Even with this disappointment, I still want to upgrade to the Sony RX series. Living in a rural area it is difficult to get to a shop that has one that I can pick up and sense how it feels in my petite hands. Id rather not order one and hope it feels right in my grasp. So, until then, I will await my purchase of the RX series. If there is something of equal quality out there, I’d really like to do research and hear comments to compare.

Greetings,
I am a active grandmother who likes to take photographs, mostly of landscapes and people, especially my grandkids at their music events and everywhere else.
I am using a Sony DSC-HX50 that I purchased shortly after they came out. I am strongly disappointed with the picture quality and very rarely get a nice crisp picture. I often wonder if it is because this particular camera did not come with the Zeiss Lens feature. My previous Sony was a DSC-H10 with the Zeiss lens that I loved and just plain wore out.
I am not an expert by any means, I just love getting a great crisp picture of family and landscapes.
I have always used Sony but I find it a little disconcerting that Ugly Hedgehog bloggers are predominantly Nikon users, only because Sony has always been my brand of choice. My daughter has a Nikon DSLR 3200 and loves it and says I should go this route, but I don't know if I want to be bothered changing lenses.
So, if I upgrade.....what should I consider. Is Sony the answer or should I look for a different brand. Would prefer to stay with a bridge camera concept.

Suggestions to consider would be welcomed as I ponder upgrading.

For a Nikon D3200, considering a larger capacity SD Card. Thoughts on with of these...or something different.

I also have the Sony DSC-HX50V, Love the size and case designed specifically for it. But, mine does not have the Zeiss lens which I was greatly disappointed by. Are you sure yours has the Zeiss lens and not the “Sony Lens G”?

I previously used the Sony DSC10 that did have the Zeiss lens and feel I got better sharper pictures compared to the HX50.

I must be doing something wrong with the settings. Have been skulking around thinking about upgrading even though my HX50 Is only a few years old. Love taking zoom pictures of grandkids at sporting events but they seem slightly fuzzy.....ugh!

I am having a big decision to make.. Help me decide. Been using Sony's cyber-shot DSC-H10 since 2006. I LOVE this camera and it fits perfectly into my petite hands. But, after tens of thousands of pictures it has given out and I must replace it. But with what! I don't want to deal with a camera and separate lenses, what would you all suggest that would be comparable to my H10. I take pics of wildlife , grandkids in motion, people and landscapes.
I like the Sony (especially those with the Ziess lens) and Canon long zooms but they seem too bulky. I also don't want to pay high dollars. suggestions??
(I am leaning towards the Sony DSC-HX300 even though it's seems bulky.)
