Will i see a difference in a color printer with 2400 x 1200 dpi and 4800 x 1200 dpi

More importantly than the specs is to look at samples from each printer. Every printer is different, ie Lexmarks show tons of banding and don't look so good. The affordable HP Deskjet 5550, though, does very well for a sub $60 printer.

Check samples for the Canon's. BTW, note that 4 inks = maybe very expensive unless you use refills, but then quality degrades...

Side note, I click link...HOLY! $400+ printers! These better be 7x better than our Deskjet 5550 😉
 
Yeah, you gotta look at samples. The DPI rating don't mean diddly since the manufacturers just lie about them. Don't you find it strange that Canon could gon from 1200x1200 to 4800x1200 in just one printer generation? They're lying. They redefined what they mean by "DPI" so that one drop of each color on each point on a 1200^grid counts as a dot. So 4 colors times 1200^2 = 4800x1200.
 
Your eyes can't see any difference after a certain resolution. I forget the exact resolution, but i think it's 1200 or somewhere around there. Someone can correct me.
 
You will see the difference between the S9000 and i9100 because the droplets are smaller on the i9100 (4 picoliter}.

The narrower i950 will be even better at 2 picoliter. The i850 is also 2 picoliter but is 4 color so there is a trade off.

First of all they went from 2400 to 4800. They may be lying but I can tell you, currently owning Canon printers from the two generations you speak of, that there is a considerable improvement in the photo quality of the i generation over the s generation.

Wow! As a Canon s900 owner, if the i generation is even better, than I'm absolutely amazed . I still can't get over how well the s900 prints photos!
