7250 dpi Scanner Introduced by Pacific Image Electronics

wrote: I have done this several times with my KM-5400. (Scanned the same negative or slide twice. Once at 5400 and once at 2700) I don't see any difference, but then I am usually scanning slides taken with a hand-held 35 mm camera. I've seen a small difference on some frames but not enough to make it worth dealing with files four times as large. I suspect that the optics of the scanner aren't capable of maintaining much detail at 5400 ppi. 7200 ppi makes me even more suspicious. That requires optics that can resolve down to five times the wavelength of red light: not out of the question for expensive equipment but far out of the range of consumer products. -- Matthew Winn [If replying by mail remove the "r" from "urk"] |

I've got a funny suspicion this is a rebadged old Kodak scanner model , with 1:2 interpolation to make it go to 7200. Check this out: http://www.creativepro.com/story/review/14922.html This was a 3600dpi scanner. Double the rez and you got 7200 spot-on. And the cases couldn't be more equal. Me theenks PIE has bought the right to make this thing from Kodak - or its contract with them to make it has expired - and naturally they want to put their own spin in the product. Still darn good value for the price if it is interpolated and the presence of GEM, ICE and ROC is also welcome, but definitely no match for the coolscan 5000ED in the optics. |

The marketing brochure claims that it has 7200 dpi optical resolution, not interpolated. |
