TIA, Jay Beckman Chandler, AZ Since you intend to scan 35 mm slides/negs this is simple. Do not buy a flatbed, any flatbed. Buy a dedicated film scanner.

TIA, Jay Beckman Chandler, AZ Check the Epson V700, use one and it is a good scanner. Would a Nikon LS5000 or 9000 be better, yes. But if you want multiple use that does good scans fast, up to 20 negs at a time. It is better than my Nikon LS2000 dedicated film scanner (yes a 5 year old scanner 2700ppi max). The V700 doesn't have the dynamic range problems and sharpness problems of most flatbeds. The pro section of the software is good too, I here the Canon software is not very good, though I haven't used it. Tom |

Coolscan V, 5000. Minolta are of course out of that business. I'm selling my Minolta 5400, if you're interested (I bought the Nikon 9000 ED to scan medium format). I'll be away for the next 10 days on business, however. e-mail me at the address above minus the lunch, if interested. Some of the earlier Canon film scanners had power supply issues that resulted in noise in the image. Not sure how they stand today. Avoid flatbeds, although the higher end Epson's are fairly decent.
