I am purchasing a Nikon 5100 and am also looking at the Canon and Epsom printers in the thousand dollar range. My understanding is that you take the picture in color and then photo shop it to black and white. Of course, I could buy the Leica Monochrome camera for $9k, but that's a bit out there!

The Canon Pixma Pro and the Epsom 3880 get great reviews for printing B&W. Anyone have any input?

Thanks!
