The 4500 is a better choice than the 4000, RAW compatibility is
improved, and so is the 3.8" display reportedly.

Can't answer much about the printer (haven't looked at anything like
that).
The Epson P2000/P4000 fits the image storage request very well.
Difference is 40G or 80G storage, the units have a Lithium-Ion
rechargeable battery good for downloading around 13 1-Gbyte cards per
charge, and the 3.5" LCD display is superb. Interface to the computer
is USB 2.0, card slots include SD and CF (other card types can be
used with CF adapters), and the unit can also play music and some
digital video formats. It can show a good range of RAW format files too.

A question was posed to me by a friend. She is looking for a small,
portable, ink jet printer that can produce prints up to about 5x7 in
size,
no need to go larger, although she'll consider 8x10 if she has to,
that can
work on either batteries or electricity, or perhaps from on inverter
in her
van. She's going to be traveling around the US and would like to make
small prints for the people she photographs. Limiting the results
to color
is fine.
Also - and I know this has come up before, but options may have
changed -
what might be a good image storage option - perhaps something with a
nice-sized screen that can accept SD and CF cards. She's thought
about a
lap top, but would ideally like something smaller and more portable.
I've no idea what to suggest to her.
