PF3650U Pacific Image Film Scanner
Here is the deal I was given a several hundred Dollars of Target gift cards
and they sell Pacific Image Film Scanner - PF3650U on there web site, has anyone used it yet? The review of an earlier 1800u model having Lamp Failure is worrisome however it was a Cold cathode fluorescent lamp design not a White & Infrared LED Array like this new PF3650U has. Note For the record I sure better film scanners maybe had like Nikon or Minolta but I don't have that kind of money and this is my hobby not my career and right now I am using a Microtek's ScanMaker 5900 flatbed scanner on slides it works OK but negatives bow up and will not lay flat or will move when I put the lid down. any thoughts on this would be appreciated Specifications: Pacific Image 35mm Film Scanner - PF3650U The PrimeFilm 3650U incorporates DIGITAL ICEłT technology that enables its IR LED to return your slides and films to its base quality by removing dust, scratches, emulsion effects and color fading. With 3600 dpi optical resolution the 3650U offers you superior scanning quality and maximum image sizes of 3,456 x 5,184 pixels for 35 mm film capable of being printed to B4 size. Equipped with USB 2.0 interface and back-end supporting USB 1.1, the 3650U is capable of transferring data for as fast as 480MB per second - which especially facilitates transferring image files. btw B&H Photo claims it is a Cold cathode fluorescent lamp but is not it is an White & Infrared LED Array |

BUT- I'm not impressed with the sharpness of the 1800 and would shy away from anything else from the same folks. -- Michael | "You're going to need a bigger boat." |
